    About this audiobook

    This program includes a bonus chapter, 'Beach House Dreaming,' read by Mary Kay Andrews.

    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.

      The cover and title might lead you to think this is purely a "beach read", and you wouldn't be wrong. What makes it interesting is that it's a beach read with elements of many different types of the genre - mystery (a couple of mysteries, actually), romance, family drama. And yes, even the beach. None of the characters are particularly likeable in the beginning - Drue, the main character, is a bit of a hot mess. Her dad seems like a jerk. Her former best friend/current stepmom seems like the stereotypical combination stepmother/trophy wife. But as the story rolls along and we learn more about the characters and their backgrounds we realize things aren't always what they seem. Good mysteries, a little romance, and a sense of place that makes me want to head to the beach with a good book right now, I thoroughly enjoyed this one and look forward to reading more by Mary Kay Andrews.
      My thanks to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for providing a copy for an unbiased review.

      I love the beach and reading the book I could picture the beach . Great read
    • 5/5
      I grew up at the beach and loved this mystery in this setting! The author’s advice on beach house hunting after the book ended was just what I needed to seriously begin my hunt!
    • 3/5
      The main character is well developed as a troubled adult who is a late bloomer overcoming setbacks. The mystery is compelling but slow to develop as the book is almost half complete before the stage is set to bring the focus on The Who Done It. I liked the book but it got bogged down in character development and seemed to be 2 genres at once…coming of age and mystery. The bonus of the author discussing merits of owning a beach house was great.
