Description

Pull up a lounge chair and have a cocktail at Sunset Beach – it comes with a twist.

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.

I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! Mary Kay Andrews is one of my all time favorite authors and I was honored to have the opportunity to get an advanced copy of this book!! This book kept me on the edge of my seat and wondering where it was going?? I loved the family dynamic of this book and the perseverance of the main character. I have to admit that I did NOT see that ending coming and I literally read this book in less than 24 hours. SO GOOD.

A novel set on the coastal part of Florida ---this was a captivating, enjoyable,mysterious, fun and romantic title all in one!
Charmingly written and definitely full of ups and downs-it totally brings laughter and excitement with each page. A definite read filled with good characters and lots of wit--I just loved it.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to have read this book prior to publication--it was a joy!!!

Could not put it down. At first I thought 'train wreck'! Then it hooked me. Great characters. Very nice mix of suspense, personal intrigue, and classic setting. The plot and the presentation work well. I could read more about Drue.

The beach, family drama, a little romance, and a mystery to solve- what's not to like? This is a perfect beach read. Definitely recommend.
