A Book to Kill For

I'm really trying to find some indie cozy mystery writers who I just love. I don't believe a story has to be traditionally published to be good. I've been reading [a:London Lovett 17145999 London Lovett https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1504787752p2/17145999.jpg] and now I have found Harper Lin. This was a Kindle freebie and I really liked it except for a couple of small things. I'm going to read the second one until I firm up my opinion on this author. Maggie works at the local bookstore with an older gentleman she considers a friend. When he passes on, his estranged son arrives to not close the bookstore, but to expand it into a bookstore/cafe. Joshua is kind of adorable but I figure there is a reason he did not have a good relationship with his father and that will probably all come out over a few books. Also, a romance may be brewing? So, my problem right now stems with Maggie. I adored her in the beginning, even felt sorry for her but then she snaps at people and speaks down to them and I just can't believe she's this mean. Again, there is more here to like than not like, so I want to keep going. I love the kooky townspeople. And the mystery was pretty good, I guessed wrong.

Favorite Main Character

From the first sentence, I loved Maggie! She is quirky, often pessimistic, and very introverted. But she is also loyal and determined to protect what she cares about. Add in some romantic tension and you have a great book 1!
