Beating the Wrap by Julie Anne Lindsey

Hello my cozy friends,

Today I am reviewing “Beating the Wrap” book 3 in the Bonnie & Clyde Mysteries by Julie Anne Lindsey. I love this series! 

Bonnie & Clyde are at it again!

When the death of a local baker threatens to shred the fabric of their lovely town, this dynamic sleuthing duo bolts into action. The results will leave you in stitches.

It’s summertime in beautiful Bliss, Georgia, and while second chance dress shop owner, Bonnie Balfour, would prefer to spend her time redesigning gowns for the upcoming Founder’s Day parade, her grandma, Gigi, is too hot under the collar to concentrate. It seems Gigi’s former friend is using her recipe to sell cobbler at the local festivities, and she’s claiming Gigi’s treat as her own!

Things go from uncomfortable to downright ugly when Gigi confronts her friend publicly about the unseamly pattern of behavior, only to later find the woman dead! With Gigi’s prints on the murder weapon, and dozens of material witnesses to their earlier scrap, Gigi cuts straight to the top of Sheriff Wright’s suspect list.

Now, Bonnie and her kitty companion, Clyde, must don their sleuthing hats once more.

To mend Gigi’s reputation and deliver justice for the victim, Bonnie must lace together a string of clues about what really happened that night. Will she wind up on the killer’s cutting board in the process?

I loved this latest instalment in the Bonnie & Clyde series!  We met some new characters Thelma and Luisa (secretly hoping they might be the spin off book) I’m super happy Bonnie bought the lake house as well as been doing good deeds around town.  The way Ms. Lindsey describes or imagines these towns in her books just makes you want to live there and be bff’s with the main character.

The mystery is well-written and plotted. There are several red herrings and twists to keep the reader engaged.  

I’m anxiously awaiting book 4 in the series as fun things are going to happen as well as romance … 

I look forward to reading all the books in the series and highly recommend to all my cozy mystery loving friends.
