There were quite a few mysteries in this book, from the big to the small. Their interactions reminded me of so many fictional mothers and daughters where it’s not entirely believable, but you love them anyways. Probably a bit too smart for her own good, but what can you do. Auri is sensitive, sassy, and coming into her own as a teenager. Sunshine is snarky, sharp, compassionate, and occasionally a bit over the top. I wasn’t expecting this book to be told in relatively equal parts between Sunshine and her daughter Auri, but it worked. I don’t always get all the jokes, but I love the way the characters tease each other mercilessly in her books. or worse? My Review:Ĥ.5 stars - Welp, can confirm: I truly love Ms. Can Sunshine face the call of duty - and find the kidnapper who's terrorizing her beloved hometown - without falling head over high heels in love. With temperatures rising everywhere she turns, Del Sol's normally cool-minded sheriff is finding herself knee-deep in drama and danger.

This one's got Levi, Sunshine's sexy, almost-old-flame, and a fiery-hot US Marshall. Add to that the trouble at her daughter's new school, plus and a kidnapped prized rooster named Puff Daddy, and, well, the forecast looks anything but sunny.īut even clouds have their silver linings. But a teenage girl is missing, a kidnapper is on the loose, and all of this is reminding Sunshine why she left Del Sol in the first place. Sheriff Sunshine Vicram finds her cup o' joe more than half full when the small village of Del Sol, New Mexico, becomes the center of national attention for a kidnapper on the loose.ĭel Sol, New Mexico is known for three things: its fry-an-egg-on-the-cement summers, strong cups of coffee - and, now, a nationwide manhunt? Del Sol native Sunshine Vicram has returned to town as the elected sheriff - thanks to her adorably meddlesome parents who nominated her-and she expects her biggest crime wave to involve an elderly flasher named Doug.
