A Hard Day for a Hangover is another humorous installment in Darynda Jones's wine mystery series deemed: "Laugh-out-loud funny, intensely suspenseful fun." —New York Times bestselling author Allison Brennan
"Narrator Lorelei King works well with the subtly snarky style of author Darynda Jones....Listeners will look forward to the next installment of this new series, as some mysteries are solved, and others remain." —AudioFile on A Bad Day for Sunshine
Some people greet the day with open arms. Sheriff Sunshine Vicram would rather give it a hearty shove and get back into bed, because there's just too much going on right now. There's a series of women going missing, and Sunny feels powerless to stop it. There's her persistent and awesomely-rebellious daughter Auri, who's out to singlehandedly become Del Sol's youngest and fiercest investigator. And then there's drama with Levi Ravinder—the guy she's loved and lusted after for years. The guy who might just be her one and only. The guy who comes from a family of disingenuous vipers looking to oust him—and Sunshine—for good.
Like we said, the new day can take a hike.
The blockbuster conclusion to the bestselling Sunshine Vicram trilogy, A Hard Day for a Hangover will have listeners laughing and cheering to the very last page.
"Fans will be delighted." —Publishers Weekly

In bestseller Jones’s enjoyable third and final mystery featuring Sunshine Vicram, the sheriff of Del Sol, N.Mex. (after 2021’s A Good Day for Chardonnay), Sunshine has her hands full dealing with murders, assaults, robberies, a sniper attack, an escaped prisoner, and a pregnant raccoon, not to mention the tourist town’s resident flasher, who ends up in the emergency room with a knitting needle embedded in his neck, claiming to have been attacked by a gang. Distinctive supporting characters who aid in Sunshine’s investigations include her chief deputy, Quincy Cooper; her 15-year-old daughter, Auri; and Levi Ravinder, the man she has “been in love with since childhood.” Meanwhile, Sunshine has to sort out her complicated love life as well as Auri’s. As Del Sol is “like Peyton Place on crystal meth,” there’s indeed a whole lot of sorting out to do. Fans will be delighted to see Sunshine and her kinfolk heading for a rosy future. Newcomers are advised to start with book one. Agent: Alexandra Machinist, ICM Partners. -
Narrator Lorelei King provides a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy featuring Sheriff Sunshine Vicram and the mystery of her past with Levi Ravinder. The story is set in the small town of Del Sol, New Mexico. King's voice builds a whole community, ranging from from the elderly townsfolk to the town's flasher. Sunshine has to contend with a series of missing women while trying to keep her teenage daughter from starting her own investigation. King's performance balances the older voice of Sunshine with the younger timbre of her daughter, Auri. Sunshine has a snarky sense of humor, and King's delivery perfectly matches it. King delivers a highly enjoyable listening experience. S.B. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
