Little Bookshop of Murder: A Beach Reads Mystery

SPOILER
the main character was not very likable; i don't really appreciate people who say that reading classics is really the only valid thing to read. and she barely changed her mind about romances by the end. the fear of spiders thing seemed to be resolved so suddenly even though it's a major plot point for causing summer to lose her job. and the finding her father thing felt random to even really bring up and solve in the first place. the book is supposed to be a mystery, but i felt like i figured out that it was doris long before she was even considered a suspect–by the end it wasn't even a surprise. the beginning really had my interest piqued, but it didn't take long to feel like the main character kept having the same thoughts over and over. i had high hopes for the book, but it just fell flat for me.
