About Burden of Poof
Burden of Poof (Bonnie & Clyde Mysteries)
An amateur sleuth named Bonnie and her kitty companion Clyde, with names like those, what could possibly go wrong?
Life hasn't sparkled too brightly for Bonnie Balfour over the past few years, but a heart-breaking divorce has brought her back to her small rural hometown of Bliss, Georgia, and things are starting to shape up.
The proud new owner of Bless Her Heart—a second chance dress shop and boutique on the town square—Bonnie thinks thirty-eight might not be too late for a fresh start in life after all.
Until a grouchy old widow turns up dead in a pile of donations meant for Bonnie’s shop, and the town’s new detective pins her to the top of his suspect list!
To save her shop, dream and reputation, Bonnie must coordinate clues and stitch together the truth about her innocence, but the unreasonably handsome detective and prying eyes of the local gossip mill are fast fraying her nerves.
When a series of anonymous attacks begin to hem her in, Bonnie fears the real killer is fixing to make her his next victim. Can this amateur sleuth measure up?
What I Thought:
This is the first book in the Bonnie and Clyde series by Julie Anne Lindsey, and it did not disappoint. It was a well written, fast-paces mystery that kept me turning pages. In this one, Bonnie has filed for divorce and moved back to her home town to seek her dream of opening a second hand dress shop. She has a new man in her life, a cat, Clyde. When a wealthy widow turns up dead in a pile of donations at her dress shop, Bonnie becomes the main suspect. This one has a great setting and a great cast of characters, the best, in my opinion being Clyde. The mystery was well thought out and realistic makin this a fun and fast read. There were many twists and turns, which kept me guessing till the very end.
I received a complimentary copy of this book.
