Description:
Drue Campbell’s life is adrift. Out of a job and down on her luck, life doesn’t seem to be getting any better when her estranged father, Brice Campbell, a flamboyant personal injury attorney, shows up at her mother’s funeral after a twenty-year absence. Worse, he’s remarried – to Drue’s eighth grade frenemy, Wendy, now his office manager. And they’re offering her a job.
It seems like the job from hell, but the offer is sweetened by the news of her inheritance – her grandparents’ beach bungalow in the sleepy town of Sunset Beach, a charming but storm-damaged eyesore now surrounded by waterfront McMansions.
With no other prospects, Drue begrudgingly joins the firm, spending her days screening out the grifters whose phone calls flood the law office. Working with Wendy is no picnic either. But when a suspicious death at an exclusive beach resort nearby exposes possible corruption at her father’s firm, she goes from unwilling cubicle rat to unwitting investigator, and is drawn into a case that may – or may not – involve her father. With an office romance building, a decades-old missing persons case re-opened, and a cottage in rehab, one thing is for sure at Sunset Beach: there’s a storm on the horizon.
Sunset Beach is a compelling ride, full of Mary Kay Andrews' signature wit, heart, and charm.
This book is not a love story. Drue stumbles onto a cold case and sets out to solve it against the wishes of others. The story starts off casually but this when it starts it just keeps you guessing to the end. I really liked Yvonne and Aliyah, Yvonne's personality just jumps off the pages and has a way of laughing and having your heart break at the same time. There is a lot of strong language through out the book. I think what I wasn't a fan of in this book I found in the beginning that Drue came off very annoying and whiny I thought for someone who was 36 she would no come off as a 20 year old. I got too much sometimes. Overall the storyline was good and I enjoyed it in the end.
I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley. I was under no obligation to post a review and have given my honest opinion
