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?

MY THOUGHTS
Bonnie was such a fun heroine to read about. She and Clyde were quite the pair! I enjoyed her friendship with Cami, and I loved seeing how great her relationship with her parents was. I really liked all the banter between her and Detective Wright. There were some serious sparks and great chemistry there. I'm excited to see where that leads in the future.
I thought the mystery was good. There were a lot of suspects, and I didn't figure it out until right before the big reveal.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys cozy mysteries and small towns. I'm eager for the next one!
