Starting Over With Many Questions

 I received a copy of Sunset Beach by Mary Kay Andrews in exchange from  Tandem Literary for an honest review.   This book was published in 2019.  I will leave details for her current release, Road Trip, at the bottom of the page.   Now back to Sunset Beach.  Have you ever had life circumstances that offer new opportunities? 

Synopsis: 


“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.” (amazon.com) 


My Thoughts:


This MKA book has the feel of a mystery thriller.  One review I read said this book is darker.  I would agree with this observation.  I loved seeing the growth of the character of Drue.  I also love when MKA includes a makeover of the house or cottage mentioned in the story.  One of my favorites that I have read from her this year.
