My review
Grab a glass of chardonnay and enjoy!
This is a worthy follow up to A Bad Day for Sunshine as the author once again taps into the energy and the fun of the main character, Sunshine Vicram.
In this delightful installment, there are many things afoot in this small town where Sunshine reigns as the sheriff. All of the characters we have come to love are back including the hunk Levi. He still sizzles Sunshine’s brain and other parts and their involvement proceeds to its inevitable conclusion.
Sunshine’s daughter, Auri, is trying to be like her mom, out there trying to solve crimes and thinking one of the elderly town residents is a serial killer. It’s crazy town with a huge share of people who seem at times to be operating on shaky ground. However, in the midst of fun and frolic, there murder, mayhem, and 💕💕.
What was fun in the first book continues, are the barbs and banter that flows especially between Sunshine, her parents, and her cohorts. All in jest but with some serious death challenging events, the author manages to keep the reader satisfied with its content while settling some unanswered questions from the first book.
It’s a tad long, but absolute fun as we breathe a sign of relief as Sunshine gets exactly what we hope she would.
Hoping there will be another book in this series!

Great review, Marialyce! This is such a fun series and I’m really glad that there seems to be a happy-for-now for Sunshine at the end of this one.
