This is the third book in the Sunshine Vicram series which should be read in order and not stand alone. it begins with a plot in book one which is gradually revealed through the following books. What doesn't change is the witty sarcasm that makes Sunshine Vicram a likeable protagonist. She is a single mother to teenage daughter, Auri, who returns home to Del Sol, New Mexico to act as sheriff. She discovers that her parents had somehow rigged an election for her to become the new sheriff. It's a small town with many well-meaning characters who make you laugh with their attempts to help.

At this point, Sunshine has resolved the issue of her abduction when she was 17 years-old. She is also trying to keep track of her inquisitive and crime solving daughter, Auri, who seems to find trouble while investigating some missing girls in town. Sunshine discovered that Levi Ravinder, her first love, wasn't as involved with his family's shady distillery business as once thought. Sunshine can't help but feel the attraction she once had for him all those years ago. Her parents help out with keeping an eye on Auri as plays amateur detective and possibly finding a crush of her own. Good friend Quincy Cooper, the deputy sheriff, is always available to provide support as well. Aside from the case of the missing girls, they have to investigate the town flasher who is found with knitting needles in this neck.

This is addition does not disappoint with the mystery, wit and humor. A fun cozy mystery series.

Thank you NetGalley and St Martin's Press for sending this book for review
consideration. All opinions are my own.

***5 Stars***

I must say that I am thoroughly enjoying the adventures of the Vicram girls and the crazy inhabitants of Del Sol.

The case was a crazy scary one and when I found out the who, the why and the ultimate outcome, it was kind of mind blowing, but made sense when I thought it all over.

But the stars of the story are Sunshine and Auri. I love their relationship and I love getting to be in their heads and experience everything they go through, though I would probably want to put a tracker on Auri any time she leaves the house. And then when you add Quincy, Cruz, Levi and the parentals/grandparentals to the mix (along with the entire town) well, it's just all kinds of fun. And speaking of Levi ~ I really liked how things worked out there…it’s about time! And I’m looking forward to seeing what happens next, because more changes are coming, but I shall do my best to wait patiently for the next book and the crazy to come.

Sheriff Sunshine Vicram, a single mother and Del Sol New Mexico sheriff, clears her mind most days with a bottle of tequila and then does her best the morning after to serve the people. It seems as if every member of her department has their eye on another member of the department as their next romantic conquest--and Sunshine
does the same with hopes to reconnect with Levi, the father of her teenage daughter. This is the third book in a series. Readers should begin with book one, A Bad Day for Sunshine, to see if they are interested in the high energy series.

Sunshine is the sheriff in a small New Mexico town. Between a busy work schedule, her love life, and a teenage daughter, Sunshine has a lot on her plate. And, oh boy, does Sunshine has her hands full in this book!

A Hard Day for a Hangover is the third book in the Sunshine Vicram series. I recommend reading the earlier two books before diving into this one. While this book can stand on its own, understanding the characters and what has happened previously makes for a more enjoyable read.

The characters are quirky. The setting is charming. The writing is witty. The story is exciting. A Hard Day for a Hangover is a gripping read with romance, humor, and mystery. A great read for fans of mysteries with strong female protagonists and sarcastic humor.

I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is the best book title! Book 3 did not disappoint at all! This is simply an entertaining series and I hope to read more of it!

Thank you #StMartinsPress and #NetGalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review

This was a great book. I loved every paragraph, every sentence and every word of this masterpiece! I read it in 12 hours, which is a lot for me to do! It had everything and more laid out in the novel! I sure hope There is more to come from this author! I am totally hooked!

I don’t know if this counts in the cozy mystery genre, but it’s close. I love coming back to these characters and how formulaic things are without being overly predictable.

Perfect perfect perfect! Do yourself a favor and join Sunshine from story 1. You can, of course, jump in to the story here but every book has been absolutely entertaining and a joy to read. The characters are lovably flawed, show dynamic growth, and frankly act like you'd expect people in the real world to respond to real situations. This is a quick read only because you'll need to know what's going to happen!

5/5

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an e-arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Loved loved loved this book. So sad that is the last in the series. It is a witty novel and I was sad when it ended and you will definitely enjoy this wrapup in the series.

Darynda Jones is one of my favorites. It all started for me with the Charley Davidson series. This is a series that just keeps getting better and better. 5 stars!

Thank you, Net Galley, for a copy of this book for an honest review.

I have voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this title given to me via NetGalley. This was just a wonderful book to read and it was just easy to lose yourself in the story. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

I didn’t enjoy this book at it. I just found it ….. weird. I have decided that I will not be continuing with this series.

4 stars!

This was so good! I think that where I let myself down was stupidly not reading the first books in this series which did leave me a little confused. But besides that, I thought this was a great book! I absolutely loved Sheriff Sun and her relationship with her daughter. I felt myself swooning over the romance and the mystery was honestly great too. I'll go back and read the rest of the series for sure!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I had received "A Bad Day for Sunshine" prior to it being released and was HOOKED! I read the second Sunshine Vicram book, "A Good Day for Chardonnay: A Novel" and also enjoyed it. This one, "A Hard Day for a Hangover" was FANTASTIC! I love the characters Sunshine, her daughter, Auri, and the love of her life, Levi! The story had me laughing, crying, wanting more.

This series is an excellent series! If you want to read a fun mystery series, I HIGHLY recommend this one.

Thank you, Darynda Jones. Love your writing!

Looking for a laugh out loud mystery than this one is for you. Sunshine and Levi’s romance takes off in this storyline but it doesn’t take away from the happenings in Del Sol.

Although not as fun as Jones' previous series - and definitely more predictable - this is still entertaining. The main issue throughout is the assumed precocity of the daughter; she comes across more as annoying than brilliant.

Thank you for the advanced readers copy Netgalley, but this one ultimately was not a book worth finishing for me.

I love this series!! It was amazing!! I did not want it to end! I hope she rights more if these characters!

Sheriff Sunshine Vicram is in charge, but sometimes would rather not be. Between the missing women, her head-strong daughter Auri, and Levi Ravinder, Sunshine has her hands full. When secrets try to burst the seams of Sunshine's life, will her future be put into question?

Sunshine Vicram is snarky, sassy, and definitely makes those around her stay on their toes. The plot is nothing I have not seen before, but the characterization gives the book life. Having read all of the books in the series, A Hard Day for a Hangover is not my favorite. There is very little character development and the plot is not all that realistic. Overall, the sass is more smoke and mirrors to cover up the lack of actual dialogue. Readers new to the series should start with the first book and familiar ones might enjoy the check-in with their favorite characters.

Disclaimer: I was given an Advanced Reader's Copy of A Hard Day for a Hangover by NetGalley and the publisher. The decision to read and review this book rests entirely with me.

This is the last book in a series about a female sheriff Sunshine Vicram. I had never read any other books in this series but since I received an ARC I gave it a try. Initially the book was coming off a bit cheesy to me, but I was going to stick with it. However when I got about 44% into the book the author made a comment that was really offensive. In the book when she talks about white characters hair its always describe in positive adjectives “long, dark and silky”. This type of descripotion was used on all the white characters, however the first Black character she introduces her hair is described as “short locks that were a wile mess like she narrowly escaped a tornado”. To say this is highly offensive is an understatement. First of all they are called “locs”, and they are not unruly or look like you’ve been throug a tornado. Locs can be beautiful and styled in many beautiful hairstyles. To be described as unkempt becuse it’s Black hair is rooted in stereotypical thinking. At that point I realized this author and this book were no longer for me. I will be DNF’ing this book and will not read anything else this author writes. I also really want publishers and editors to look at these types of things and really start encouraging authors to be sensitive to stereotypes and their unconscous biases. If there’s a question as to how I figured the character was Black it was due to the vernacular used and the fact that no one else’s hair was described as “locks”. It’s 2023 lets do better!
