A Good Day for Chardonnay (Sunshine Vicram)

**Dive into the Quirky World of Sunshine Vicram in *A Good Day for Chardonnay*** Escape to the sun-baked, small-town charm of Del Sol, New Mexico, with Darynda Jones's hilarious and heartwarming mystery, *A Good Day for Chardonnay*. This isn't your typical police procedural; it's a delightful blend of suspense, humor, romance, and a touch of the paranormal, all wrapped around the relatable struggles of its protagonist, Sheriff Sunshine Vicram. Sunshine Vicram never envisioned returning to her hometown, let alone becoming its sheriff. After a teenage elopement gone wrong and a life lived elsewhere, fate (and perhaps a touch of family obligation) has landed her back in Del Sol, trying to navigate the challenges of small-town politics, a rebellious teenage daughter, and a persistent ex-husband. What Sunshine craves most is a *good* day one filled with simple pleasures like coffee, donuts, and, of course, a well-deserved glass (or seven) of Chardonnay at day's end. But good days are in short supply for Sunshine. Del Sol is proving to be anything but the sleepy, carefree haven she imagined. When a teenage girl disappears and a string of bizarre events unfolds, Sunshine finds herself thrust into the heart of a perplexing and dangerous mystery. With her unique blend of wit, sarcasm, and genuine compassion, Sunshine must unravel the secrets of her town and confront her own past demons in order to protect the people she now serves.
