Blurb (from back cover): "Drue Campbell's life is adrift. Out of a job and down hon 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.
"A job from hell, more life. But the offer is sweetened by news of her inheritance-her grandparent's beach bungalow in the sleepy town of Sunset Beach-a charming but storm-damaged eyesore, now surrounded by waterfront McMansions.
"Wit no other prospects, Drue begrudgingly joins the firm, 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, nearby beach resort exposes possible corruption at her father's firm, she goes from unwilling cubical rat to unwitting investigator, and is drawn into a case that may or may not involved her father. With an office romance building, a decades-old missing persons case reopened, and a cottage in rehab, one thing is for sure at Sunset Beach: there's a storm on the horizon."
Opinion: The missing person case just isn't necessary. There is romance but ugh just annoying how it began. Still a fun read-especially since I was in the area of where this book takes place when I was reading it. Some good humor especially about how Brice advertises his law firm (billboards).
