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?

Fabulous start to a new cozy mystery series

Reviewed in the United States on 16 September 2021

Burden of Poof is a fabulous start to a new cozy mystery series from author Julie Anne Lindsey. Head on down to Bliss, Georgia with Bonnie Balfour as she starts over in her hometown with the cutest second-hand boutique: Bless Her Heart; and the cutest little bow-tie-wearing black cat: Clyde. Bonnie finds herself the prime suspect in the murder of grouchy Viola Harrington. Now Bonnie finds herself trying to prove her innocence on top of trying to move on from her divorce.

I have been eagerly anticipating this series since I first heard about and then when I read the free prequel, I was hooked! I preordered the first four books. Bonnie is the perfect cozy sleuth. She's my age (ahem...38) and dealing with so many real-world problems. She felt like someone I would be besties with. I loved that she was so relatable. I was also a fan of her whip-smart comebacks and Southern charm. I saved so many quotes on my Kindle while reading this one. Ms. Lindsey has a knack for snappy one-liners!

With handsome Detective Mason Wright to contend with, Bonnie has her sleuthing work cut out for her. The mystery is deftly written and kept me on my toes. If you are looking for a cozy with heart, I highly recommend Burden of Poof. You won't be disappointed!

I received an early copy for review but also purchased this book to read as well. My review is not influenced in any way.

Burden of Poof! Fabulous Series!!

Reviewed in the United States on 24 March 2022

I am now on Book 4 of the Bonnie & Clyde series by Ms Julie Anne Lindsay, and never want the series to end!! Which it will with Book #8. The banter and repartee between the heroine, Bonnie and hero, Sheriff Wright are so quick and perfect, I was impressed that the author could create it.

What I most appreciate with these books is how the author has created flawed, broken and at times troubled
characters who become real. I feel like I know them, and go through the same emotions as they do as the H/h develop a relationship. While there isn’t explicit sex in the books there is comforting touch and kissing and a psychological explanation why it hasn’t gone further in Book 4. Again, it goes to the heroine’s past which makes her real.

The small town is quirky, as are the peripheral characters. You have family, best friends, community, small business owners, humor and love, and a cat! The mysteries are interesting and Bonnie insinuates herself into them much to the consternation of Sheriff Wright.

Book 5 is due out in May 2022 and I already pre-ordered it. This has become my favorite cozy mystery series and I will be sad when it’s over. Enjoy!

Amazing start to a series!

Julie Anne Lindsey does it again! Her first independent published Cozy Mystery, Burden of Poof is full of everything you want in a cozy: the amateur sleuth you can’t help but adore, her furry sidekick, small town charm, puns galore, and of course, the handsome detective. Love the small town feels and the chemistry between our two love interests! Their banter is just laugh out loud funny!

Bonnie is going through a rough divorce so she needs the safety and security of home where she fulfills her life long dream of owning and opening a second hand dress shop, Bless Her Heart. But home isn’t so safe when she finds a dead body and soon is in the killer’s sights herself. Can the new detective, Mason Wright, over look the obvious evidence that points to Bonnie to find the real killer before it’s too late?

Have you ever started reading a book and didn't want to put it down?

Reviewed in the United States on 19 September 2021

Have you ever started reading a book and didn't want to put it down? For me, this was Burden of Poof. From the very start to the very end, I could not put it down. I was sucked into the world of Bonnie and her life and her creation of a place to call home. When Clyde came along, you knew it would be a partnership.

I loved the character details from the personalities to the environment and setting. You could hear the voices speak from the pages.

My most favorite part would be the surprise insert of other characters from another series. I laughed out loud and was pulled in that much more.

I don't want to give away any spoilers, yet am awaiting the next book in the series and cannot wait to sit down and nestle in for a good read.....my spouse will have to be on his own for dinner, as I will be immersed in a world that Julie Anne Lindsey creates so beautifully.

If you are looking for an author or a series that will grab you from page one, I highly recommend this book and others from the author.

Happy reading.
