read from October 11 - 29
A Hard Day for a Hangover
by Darynda Jones
Summary (via the book jacket)
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 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.
My Opinion
2 stars
This is the final installment in the Sunshine Vicram trilogy. Thank goodness it's a trilogy because I'm ready to be done. I guess I'll just reread the Charley Davidson books again.
No. Just No. There is no way people can be so great at solving mysteries with the barest of clues when needed yet also miss completely obvious things right under their noses (or, even worse, when people do solve them YEARS AGO yet don't share for some reason).
With the mystery specific to this book, the person of interest was so obvious it was painful and then it wrapped up off screen with one throwaway sentence about finally identifying her. With Sunshine's personal life stuff, I'm glad things were finally resolved and there's some semblance of a happy ending.
Ironically, now that the personal stuff is settling down I actually would've liked reading more. I like the characters when they're working on police and/or town stuff; it was just way too long and too much on the paternity storyline.
