Sunset Beach
Sunset Beach | Mary Kay Andrews
The New York Times bestselling author and Queen of the Beach Reads delivers her next summer blockbuster. Drue Campbell's life and career have recently been derailed. The only thing she has left is the house her mother left her: a ramshackle beach bungalow with a missing roof in the once-sleepy town of Sunset Beach, which is rapidly becoming a hot spot for the rich and well-heeled, who are none too pleased about the shabby eyesore in their perfect neighborhood. When Drue's larger-than-life father unexpectedly turns up at her mother's funeral and offers her a job at his law firm, Drue doesn't know whether to be grateful or resentful that he has suddenly reappeared. She grudgingly accepts the job sifting through cold callers and shysters looking to get rich quick. But when her attention is caught by a suspicious murder case, Drue finds herself entangled in a decades-old mystery - one that may have dire consequences for Drue and the people she loves. Sunset Beach is a compelling ride, full of Mary Kay Andrews' signature wit, heart, and charm.

While I enjoyed this one, I think the story could have been told in fewer words and still been good. Murder, missing persons and a touch of romance with a beach setting. Easy, fun read #bookspin #february

I finished this book today and ended up not hating it. I still think the mc was extremely immature, but she grew. There are two mysteries she‘s trying to solve — the one in the present, it took me a while to figure out one evil person; for the one in the past, I didn‘t figure it out at all and had to wait for the reveal. The botanical gardens cat came out and said “hi” today. #audiowalk

Reggie Lol I have enjoyed all the posts that have mentioned this detestable mc. It almost makes me sad to see her go. Au revoir immature MC. 3y
KathyWheeler @Reggie 😄. I‘m glad you‘ve enjoyed the posts. At one point I even said to the mc, out loud in public (no one was around but it was still in public), “Are you really going to do something that stupid? Of course you are; you act like you‘re 20 instead of 36.” Then I rolled my eyes. (edited) 3y

Another day of working, walking and listening to Sunset Beach. I also had to go to the dmv to get our tags and registration; I finally feel legal! We were supposed to get them in October. Settled down to watch one of our traditional Christmas movies — Santa‘s Slay.

It‘s back to Sunset Beach for my walking book. More of Drue stomping her foot and shrieking, “Daddy, the evil stepmother wants me to do the work you pay me to do!” The reason I stick with it is that she has compassion for other people and is trying to solve the murder of a young woman that both the police and her father‘s law office have ignored or not done well by — the law firm was hired for a wrongful death suit. Chilly outside! #audiowalk

I had to take my husband to the doctor for a followup appointment. While waiting for him, I read some of Moby Dick, went for a walk and listened to Sunset Beach. If those provisions are typical of a whaling ship, those sailors must have been constipated! MC in MKA book is still a brat. Today‘s offense by the stepmother? Expecting mc to do her job. 🙄That rose garden by the hospital is prettier than it looks in these pics. #audiowalk #MobyDickbr

Now the mc is telling a friend how awful her stepmother (who is her age & the office manager at her workplace) is to her. I can generally get behind disliking characters who are awful to the mc, but so far all the sm has done is suggest that the mc dress in something besides jeans and a t-shirt for her work in a law office and tell her if her car is going to break down everyday, making her an hour late, perhaps she needs to do something about it.

This is my new walking book. I hate the main character so far; she is a bratty, immature 36 year old. Every time she‘s says or does something, I want to scream, “You‘re almost 40; grow up!” I‘m hoping she does just that. It was a beautiful day for a walk — a little warmer than it had been, though. #audiowalk

I just finished up #sunsetbeach by @marykayandrews and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I really loved the main character, Drew, and I loved how she never gave up on discovering the truth of what really happened to Jasmine. To me, this is went beyond her character because she was known for failing and giving up on everything but this was like a turn of events for her and it really showed her true character and strength! I highly recommend this one!

This was good! Several mysteries wrapped up in an interesting backstory that made for a compelling beach read. It was a little longer than it needed to be, so the ending dragged a bit, but overall I'm wondering why I don't pick up Mary Kay Andrews' books more often! 🏖

BarbaraBB That cover is almost the same as that of my copy of 5y

So many of Mary Kay Andrews‘ books have cute covers and #beach titles. I am not at the beach to read these, in fact it has rained all day, but that‘s ok because our heat wave is over for a minute! #LetsTravelJuly

OriginalCyn620 I‘ve never read this author. Have you? They do seem like perfect beach reads! (edited) 5y
MallenNC @OriginalCyn620 I read the High Tide Club last year and liked it. I got Sunset Beach for my mom, and she really liked it. I read enough to feel like it was good before I gave it to her, and she loaned it back to me. 5y

Mehso-so

This book is between a pick and a so so. I think it was just a bit too long and I was itching for it to end. Also, I think the victim from the 1976 murder mystery got a raw deal and that just didn't sit well with me. I've yet to find a book by her that captures the magic of "Summer Rental". Oh, well.

5 fabulous stars!! I absolutely loved Drue and the not one but two murder mysteries!! If you enjoy this I‘m also recommending Mary Kay Andrews 2018 release The High Tide Club. It‘s entertaining with a gorgeous southern setting on Talisa Island making it the perfect summer read (a 5 star for me.) ❥

KathyWheeler She and Mary Alice Monroe are my favorite beach read authors. I will also go with Dorothea Benton Frank and Elin Hildebrand, but I haven‘t yet forgiven them for two books that I hated. 5y
tammysue @KathyWheeler Ooh I enjoy all the authors you‘ve mentioned. I‘d love to be able to read their newest releases over the summer. Sorry to hear you‘ve had a bad experience with Dorothea and Elin. Have you read Summer of 69 yet? I‘m excited about that one and would like to start DBF‘s Lowcountry series. I own the first 3 books but haven‘t read yet. 5y

Another great beach read by Mary Kay Andrews. I loved her last book THE HIGH TIDE CLUB. Expect for two small issues I loved this one.

SUNSET BEACH is a page-turner filled with humor, charm, and compelling characters.

I received this book from #NetGalley and I loved it!! Part family drama, part cold-case murder mystery, part love story. All the good stuff wrapped up in a terrific little beach novel! #sunsetbeach #marykayandrews

Mehso-so

OK, I‘ve struggled over this review because for some this book will be great. I‘ve read one other MKA book and have decided maybe she‘s just not a favorite for me. I found the main characters in both books to be immature for their ages and not really that likable. There are two mysteries here, one predictable but the other with a twist that did not reflect how I had come to see the character. If you like MKA, you‘ll probably like this. 3/5⭐️ 🔽

Alfoster Oh rats! I just got this ARC so I‘ll put it at the bottom of my pile. 5y
robinb @Alfoster As I said, this might be just your cup of tea if you enjoy her books. I just feel I‘ve read better. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 5y
KathyWheeler I go back and forth with her because sometimes I really hate the way her characters behave, but other times I just want that nice beach read and she does that well. I find I have to space her books out or I‘ll get really annoyed. 5y
robinb @KathyWheeler That may be the key for me too...absence makes the heart grow fonder??! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣 5y
