I had so much fun reading this book! For a while, book after book I'd been reading non-fiction. This was a good change and sort of a murder mystery at that. The story is set in Florida and is about a girl who was almost good-for-nothing and then slowly builds up her life. For sure it's a feel-good story and I guess that's why it felt good to read it :)
Drue Campell, not too long back had a knee injury and can no longer do kiteboarding - which was her life. And now she lost her mom too. For better or for worse, her father who hasn't seen her for years offers her a job at her firm in another city and gives her keys to her grandparents beach-front cottage which she inherited after her mom. The fact that she had nothing going for her where she was and the thought of living in her grandparents' home where she had beautiful childhood memories, makes her accept the offer.
Moving to a new city also helps her start her life anew. The cottage needs a lot of TLC which she's happy to give. The work while not what she was looking for pays her bills and helps her meet new friends. Although Wendy - the thorn at work - her dad's new wife does make life at work a little hard at times. Then one day she comes across a case that was handled by her dad's firm and is closed. However, the client feels cheated. Drue is intrigued by the case and starts investigating. One thing leads to another and she's deep into the investigation. She has two mysteries at hand.
It's a fun read!
