Bookseller recommendation
“A satisfying conclusion to a fun trilogy. Perfect for long car rides where you can be with Sunshine, Aurie, Levi and the residents of Del Sol.”
— Audrey • Belmont Books
"Narrator Lorelei King delivers a highly enjoyable listening experience." - AudioFile Magazine
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
A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author DARYNDA JONES won a Golden Heart and a RITA for her manuscript First Grave on the Right.

Darynda lives in the Land of Enchantment, also known as New Mexico, with her husband and two beautiful sons, the Mighty, Mighty Jones Boys.

AudioFile also deemed her one of the "Best Voices of 2008."
King’s screen credits include Notting Hill, House of Mirth, and Cold Feet, among others. She has appeared as regular and recurring characters in popular British television shows such as Chef, Cold Feet, Alistair McGowan's Big Impression, Emmerdale, and the saucy Mile High. King now makes her home in London, where she lives with her husband, actor Vincent Marzello.
