Hello my cozy friends,
Today I am reviewing “Burden of Proof” book 1 in the Bonnie & Clyde Mysteries by Julie Anne Lindsey. OMG I love her new series featuring Clyde a black rescue cat! I can see this being one of my top favourite cozies, Julie is already one of my favourite authors and per usual I was not disappointed.
Today I am reviewing “Burden of Proof” book 1 in the Bonnie & Clyde Mysteries by Julie Anne Lindsey. OMG I love her new series featuring Clyde a black rescue cat! I can see this being one of my top favourite cozies, Julie is already one of my favourite authors and per usual I was not disappointed.
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?
I found the characters (both human and furbaby) a delight to read about and the setting of Bliss, Georgia hometown of Bonnie Balfour and her cat Clyde was so charming. I loved her BFF Cami who is single handedly revitalizing the downtown. I enjoyed the hint of magic and romance as well as the humour strewn throughout the book.
The mystery is well-written and plotted. There are several red herrings and twists to keep the reader engaged. I suspected the killer halfway through but then changed my mind, as there were other viable suspects.
I look forward to reading all the books in the series and highly recommend to all my cozy mystery loving friends.
I voluntarily agreed to read a digital copy of this book supplied by the Author. All thoughts and opinions are my own and in no way have been influenced.
I always love reading comments and getting to know my fellow cozy lovers.
