Release Day #Review ~ No Farm No Fowl (Thelma & Louisa Mysteries, Book 1) by Julie Anne Lindsey #CozyMystery @JulieALindsey




It’s out of the frying pan and into the fire for Thelma and Louisa in this new farm to fun cozy mystery series!

Polish chicken breeder Louisa Eggers and her beloved hen, Thelma, are enjoying life sunny side up in their earthy cottagecore community of Meadowbrook. Friends and neighbors can’t get enough of Louisa’s special breakfast recipes, and she has high hopes of feathering her nest with income from the budding egg enterprise.

But when a local naysayer, seemingly determined to bring bad press to Louisa’s community, lifestyle, and café is found dead with a belly full of her quiche, and the coroner crows murder, all eyes turn to Louisa for an explanation.

To save their business and reputation, Thelma and Louisa lay a plan to find the killer. Can they crack this case before it’s too late? Or will they find themselves in a heaping helping of trouble?

My Review and Rating:


No Farm No FowlNo Farm No Fowl by Julie Anne Lindsey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Louisa Eggers has finally opened up her souffle stand, Souffle the Day and it’s really taking off. Her specialty breakfasts are a hit with Meadowbrook residents and beyond. She’s hopeful that a local food blogger who’s been visiting will give high praise to her establishment, and with that praise, more customers.

She’s shocked to learn his blog about his experiences at Souffle the Day are unflattering and instead of brining in more customers, even her loyal ones stay away. Even more shocking is the death of the food blogger, on one of her meals at the stand, and in front of half of the town. All eyes, and fingers, point to Louisa and her nest egg may have just cracked, for good.

No Farm No Fowl is a fantastic cozy mystery by Julie Anne Linsdey. Thelma and Louisa are back in their very own spin-off series. We first met them in Bonnie & Clyde Mysteries, and I loved Louisa and her chicken Thelma so much. I’m so glad the author gave them their own series.

The story is well-written and fast-paced. I enjoyed learning more about Louisa’s relationship with her mother and seeing Louisa slowly come to realize her mother only wants the best for her. Louisa’s slow-burn with Eli is cute and I’ve enjoyed their dance since the first time they were paired together on the pages. The dynamics between Louisa and Mary, her new friend, are fun and electric. Total opposites, Louisa and Mary still manage to get along, have each other’s backs, and show true loyalty to one another.

Enjoyable characters, story, theme, and mystery. Of course, the animals steal the show, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
