Bonnie and Clyde play chicken with a killer in their zaniest adventure yet!
Bonnie Balfour is busy tuning shabby into chic after a local entrepreneur asks for help decorating a soufflé-stand startup on a shoestring budget. The client’s budding egg enterprise and blue-ribbon hen, Thelma, are sure to boost revenue to the new business, especially with Bonnie’s customizing touch on the design.
Unfortunately, feathers begin to fly when the client’s ex-boyfriend launches a dispute over Thelma’s legal custody, only hours before the hen goes missing. And Detective Wright suspects fowl play when the ex’s body turns up in a local lake before sundown.
Now Bonnie and Clyde are pecking on doors and scratching for clues to prove their friend’s innocence, but a series of anonymous attacks threaten to scramble the newly hatched plan. Can Bonnie and Clyde crack the case in time? Or is this sleuthing duo finally out of cluck?

My Review:
Eyelet Witness is the fourth book in Julie Anne Lindsey's Bonnie and Clyde Mysteries series. Bonnie's resales shop, Bless Her Heart is flourishing. She's making new friends, even though they may live in a rival city. When Louisa visits the shop for some dresses, she's served paperwork that indicate she's being sued for custody of her prized hen, Thelma. Apparently Louisa's ex-boyfriend had plans for the chicken that Louisa opted not to pursue.
Later, Thelma goes missing from Louisa's home. As the entire town of Meadowbrook looks for Thelma, a body is discovered in a local body of water. The body happens to be Louisa's ex and she becomes the prime suspect. What ensues are several twists and turns, surprise revelations, and secrets that are revealed. Bonnie does her best to help her friend, follow clues, and stay out of the crosshairs of a killer.
I loved Eyelet Witness. The characters, setting, and plot are engaging. The murder isn’t the only theme in the book, giving the book a lot of realism. The book is also full of excellent imagery, character development, and a great story. Bonnie, Clyde, Mason, Gigi, Louisa, and Thelma are fun characters. I enjoyed the chicken caper, murder mystery, and learning about the lifestyles in the adjacent town.
The author's writing style is fluid, and the pacing is perfect. The story is so easy to read that when I reached the end, I couldn’t believe I was done already. I found myself engaged and completely captivated in the story from the very beginning. I really enjoyed Eyelet Witness and can't wait for the next book.
I was provided a copy of this book to read.
