Now on to the book review, here is the blurb for this book:
A handsome movie star in her kitchen, and a corpse in the swimming pool. Just your typical Monday morning….
Maggie McJasper is starting over in a little California beach town. She has a bead shop, a nice circle of friends, and a handsome movie star who keeps flirting with her. Life would be pretty great if she could just stop stumbling over dead bodies….
Do you like dogs, crafts, quirky friends, a slow-building romance between grownups who genuinely like each other, and a twisty little mystery with red herrings galore? Then this is for you.
The Maggie & Jasper Capers are fun and flirty cozies, with no swearing or love scenes, and no gruesome violence to keep you up at night.

As an indication of my enjoyment of this book let me tell you what I did as soon as I finished this book. I downloaded book two in this series!
I found this book to be a delightful cozy and I recommend you read it too. As it says above this book has
a craft, beadwork, something I know nothing about so that was interesting. Barbara Cool Lee does an excellent job of giving depth not only to Maggie but also to the people around her. The setting is a small town but we have rich part-time residents and year-round locals to give lots of room for friction. Add in a smart and sweet dog plus the slow-burn romance between friends and you have a great read!
5 Stars!

This does sound like a fun cozy! I am glad you enjoyed it. :-)
Sounds like a fun one. Maggie seems like she would be a good main character and I like the setting, with the locals contrasted to the rich part-timers.
