I read of lot of cozy mysteries + animals (mostly cats) as my go to. And it's popular, so lots of choices.
However, recently I got one that was inherited bookstore + cat and the person who inherited was pretty... hateful? mouthy? I don't know, but about 3/4 of the way through I gave up and just skimmed to the end. I didn't like how the cat was referred to - if the cat and the bookstore was your "premise" (and there are several in the series with the cat a big part of it) maybe it gets better... but this main character was very negative/against the cat, and I just couldn't read it any more.
