Looking for a great summer read? Add this to your list! Sunshine Vicram is the new sherif of a small town in New Mexico. Her first day on the job includes some lighter fare like a town stripper and a runaway prize rooster, but what Sunshine isn’t expecting is to be faced with a missing person’s case. While the town starts a search for the 14 year old missing girl, she is quickly reminded of why she was hesitant to take this job in the first place as a past incident in her own life is strikingly similar to her current case to solve. Not to mention she keeps running into her old love interest and has her own 14 year old daughter to care for.
Jones dishes up a snarky, mysterious full of sass book that will be perfect for your summer TBR. I think the book cover PERFECTLY reflects the books (I love when that happens). There are a couple of spicy scenes with her old fame and a bit of language (so don’t have this on audio in the car with kids ;) ) but I loved this 1st novel in the Sunshine Vicram series. The next one, released last year, has an equally enticing title, A Good Day for Chardonnay.

This was a plausible listen during a road trip, but I had low level annoyance the whole time. Alerts for possible love triangle setup, children in danger in two timelines, unfinished larger plot, etc. Also, I knew whodunnit from early on.
