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.
