#Sunset Beach by Mary Kay Andrews–
Review–4.5 Stars–#NetGalley
A well-written, romantic, and captivating cozy mystery.
Coming 5/7/19
Drue hadn’t seen her father for over twenty years. Her parents divorced when she was very young, and her dad had never been part of her life. So when he showed up at her mom’s funeral, Drue was taken back. She was especially suspicious when he offered her a job. Drue accepted the offer, however. Because how bad could working be in a legal office? But when Drue started at her position, she was blown away. Not only was her high school frenemy her superior, but she was also married to Drue’s father. That, however, would only be the first of many surprises.
While Drue was working, she noticed how rude and unfair some of her dad’s clients were being treated. But after becoming emotionally involved with one of the clients, Drue started her own investigation. She discovered a missing person’s file in a place it should never have been. Her research was bringing up more questions than answers. And, in some way, Dru knew her father was involved. But to what degree? Drue was determined to find out.
Sunset Beach has a bit of everything in it, intrigue, humor, and romance. Very well done.
Thank you, St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley, for my advanced review copy.
