Beating the Wrap

Written by Julie Anne Lindsey

Narrated by Amy Melissa Bentley

Bonnie Balfour adores the changing seasons, fabulous fall activities and holiday hoopla, but will a corpse on the porch squash her holiday plans?

Thanksgiving is right around the corner in historic Bliss, Georgia, and Bonnie is trimming display tables at Bless Her Heart, especially for the occasion. A Gift of Gratitude display, beside the front door of her second chance dress shop, encourages shoppers to leave messages of good tidings for neighbors and friends. Unfortunately, someone has left a cornucopia of complaints instead.

And they're all about Bonnie!

When the scrooge turns out to be a neighbor, fed up with Clyde's habitual petty theft and trespassing, Bonnie's claws come out in defense of her kitty. The heated exchange leaves a bad taste in Bonnie's mouth, but the man turns up dead before she can dish out a proper apology.

Determined to see justice served, Bonnie and Clyde dig into the case with gusto, only to land in hot water with the handsome Sheriff Wright. A series of anonymous attacks soon have the town wondering if Bonnie can find the killer before it's time to cut the turkey. Or if she'll be the next one on his carving board.

Reviews for Beating the Wrap

[Louise Porter · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Another fun mystery; its an especially fun treat when reading or listening closely to this cozy mystery author's books and I catch a mention of one or more of her other series {in some cases, written under pseudonym}. in this particular audiobook Seaside Cafe Mysteries and Cider Shop Mysteries are noted. In one of the Cider Shop Mysteries, Lacy and Jack from her Kitty Couture Mysteries are taking a vacation while Henri LaSalle, Jack's former partner is involved in a battle re-enactment. Pseudonyms=
Jacqueline Frost - Christmas Tree Mysteries,
Bree Baker- Seaside Cafe

I will be sure to reread these books as they are a pleasurable way to work around the house and yard and relax.
my previous all time favorite - Julie Chase - Kitty Couture Mysteries until these new Bonnie and Clyde.
