Eyelet Witness by Julie Anne Lindsey

4.0

I adore this author. She quickly became one of my favorite cozy mystery authors and she continues to grow and deliver wonderful stories with fantastic characters, charming settings, and mysteries the keep me engaged as a reader. Eyelet Witness is the 4th book in the Bonnie & Clyde Mysteries and continues the tradition of what readers have come to expect from this author. Bonnie is a wonderful character that readers will enjoy getting to know throughout the series. She is surrounded by a wonderful, strong cast of secondary characters, some of whom will get their own spin-off series. This time around, Bonnie is once again embroiled in another mystery, this one involving her new friend Louisa and her show chicken Thelma. When Thelma is kidnapped, Bonnie is determined to help find Thelma o that Louisa can continue making her delicious souffle's. Bonnie's romance with Sherrif Wright is also progressing nicely and I like that while he is protective and worries about Bonnie, he still appreciates her input while trying to minimize her involvement in his cases. There are several suspects and the reader must pay careful attention if they hold to solve the mystery before Bonnie.

This series is full of southern charm, wonderful characters, and a mystery that requires the reader to carefully follow the clues laid out before them. I have to say I was really surprised by the identity of the killer, this person was not on my radar. If you have not yet read this author, I highly recommend any of her books.

I voluntarily read a digital advanced reader copy provided to me by the author. The thoughts and opinions expressed are my own and were in no way impacted by the manner in which I received this book.
