Sunset Beach by
Mary Kay Andrews is the story of Drue Campbell, a 36-year-old woman who is
forced to take a job with her estranged father’s law firm. While she is
battling her father and stepmother every step, she comes across a case she
feels the firm dropped the ball on. She takes it upon herself to investigate
and find justice for a young woman, Jazmin Hayes, that everyone has seemed to
have forgotten. Has she gets closer to the truth, a series of events occur
which seem to be a warning to stay away. However, Drue is determined to see it
through regardless of the danger. At the same time, she is dealing with her
mother’s death, moving into her grandparents’ beach cottage where she finds
information to a 40-year-old case involving missing woman, Colleen Broadman
Hicks. Will she find the truth? Will she convince the authorities of her
findings? What is the link between the missing person and her family?
I wanted to really enjoy Sunset
Beach and when I finished, I had mixed feelings. At first, I didn’t care
for any of the characters, especially Drue. I only continued to find out what
really happened to Jazmin and Colleen and how the cases connected to Drue and
her family. The first half was very slow with the second half being very fast
paced. I liked the resolution with the Jazmin Hayes case; however, the Colleen
Broadman Hicks case was a little flat. Overall, it was an ok book. Nothing too
great but it wasn’t horrible either. If you are a fan of Mary Kay Andrews, then
you may enjoy Sunset Beach.
