Publisher's summary

From the New York Times best-selling author Darynda Jones comes the second novel in her laugh-out-loud Sunshine Vicram mystery series, A Good Day for Chardonnay.

Running a small-town police force in the mountains of New Mexico should be a smooth, carefree kind of job. Sadly, full-time Sheriff - and even fuller-time coffee guzzler - Sunshine Vicram didn't get that memo.

All Sunshine really wants is one easygoing day. You know, the kind that starts with coffee and a donut (or three) and ends with takeout pizza and a glass of chardonnay (or seven). Turns out, that’s about as easy as switching to decaf. (What kind of people do that? And who hurt them?)

Before she can say iced mocha latte, Sunny's got a bar fight gone bad, a teenage daughter hunting a serial killer and, oh yes, the still unresolved mystery of her own abduction years prior. All evidence points to a local distiller, a dangerous bad boy named Levi Ravinder, but Sun knows he's not the villain of her story. Still, perhaps beneath it all, he possesses the keys to her disappearance. At the very least, beneath it all, he possesses a serious set of abs. She's seen it. Once. Accidentally.

Between policing a town her hunky chief deputy calls four cents short of a nickel, that pesky crush she has on Levi that seems to grow exponentially every day, and an irascible raccoon that just doesn't know when to quit, Sunny's life is about to rocket to a whole new level of crazy.

Yep, definitely a good day for chardonnay.

Darynda does it again.

Super snarky but with some truly beautiful sections. draws you in and keeps you guessing. Narration by the best narrator in the planet.

I read it too fast!

I love Darynda Jones' novels! I have never any of her books and didn't laugh out loud, get worried for the characters during the action scenes or sigh a little over the romance. if you want to escape, to laugh, gasp and sigh read "A Bad Day for Sunshine" then read this book, the second in the series. For that matter, just read anything that she writes.

Awesome awesome awesome

Love these books.. can’t wait for the next one. Have listened to her Charlie Davidson books over and over…. I can tell these are going to be listened to several times also…. Hurry and bring on #3 if the Sunshine series

Another great addition

Darynda Jones created a wonderful story to continue the Sunshine Vicram series. I hope there are more to follow.

Lorelei King, as always, gave a beautiful performance as she brought it all together and brought it to life.

I highly recommend this book and series but suggest starting with the first in series, A Bad Day for Sunshine.

Love

I wish it didn’t end

This is one of those books that made me laugh and cry, repeat. So darn good and I can’t wait for the next in the series.

Love this series

Well Written, Great narration. I really enjoy Lorelei Kings readings. The characters are witty and nothing is over done.

Please write more of this series faster Ms. Jones!

I have listened to the first book at least 3x and now on my second go around with the 2nd book.

I love this Series. The story line is great. It makes me listen carefully to what has been written. If you are not paying attention, you will miss something.

This has helped me getting through the LA traffic, now that it is back to normal.

Got to love Sunshine

Enjoyed the character development... especially Arie. Sassy Sunshine is so much fun and relatable... I find myself laughing out loud.
