Many thanks to NetGalley and St Martin's Press for gifting me a digital ARC of this wonderful book by Mary Kay Andrews - 4.5 stars!
Drue Campbell is down on her luck - her mom just died, she's trying to recover from injuries sustained from her kiteboarding career, she's been fired from her waitress job, and has no prospects. When her estranged dad shows up at her mom's funeral, he informs her that she has inherited her grandparents' cottage on Sunset Beach, and also offers her a job at his law firm. But the downside is that her dad has married her old best friend, and she's her new boss. When Drue discovers some newspaper clippings about a missing woman in her mom's possessions, she starts looking into the case. She also starts quietly investigating the death of a young woman at a nearby hotel - and starts questioning the involvement of her father or his law firm.
This is definitely not just a light beach read - I really got interested in this story and characters from the beginning. While there's just the slightest hint of romance, there are multiple mysteries to be solved. Drue is a wonderful character and you'll be rooting for her the whole time. I also loved the author's note at the end of the book describing her own beach cottage adventure. A must read!
