Sunset Beach
by Mary Kay Andrews
Drue Campbell's life is having a hard time of late - her mother has just passed away, her car won't start, she's lost her crappy waitressing job, and a sporting accident has left her injured. When her estranged father shows up to her mother's funeral and offers Drue a job at his ambulance-chasing law firm and the keys to her inheritance - a run down cottage in Sunset Beach that belonged to her grandparents, she packs up her few belongings and moves across the state. On her first day at her new job, she meets the office manager - her new stepmother Wendy, also known as her eighth grade frenemy.
As Drue settles in to her job taking calls at the law firm, she comes across a former client of her father's and an unsolved murder surrounding it. Despite everyone's objections, Drue plays detective and comes across some surprising finds about the case, but also about herself and her family.
The covers and descriptions of Mary Kay Andrews' books are always deceiving. You think they are going to be light beach reads, but there ends up being a surprise mystery mixed in. This one was a little lighter on the mystery side, but it was still a good read. It wrapped up a little too neatly at the end for my taste, but I would definitely recommend this as a fun summer read.
Thank you to St. Martins Press and Netgalley for providing an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
