The Sunshine Vicram series follows a newly elected sheriff in Del Sol, New Mexico, who has to solve crimes while dealing with small-town politics and her own complicated past. A Bad Day for Sunshine (2020) opens the series, and subsequent entries like A Good Day for Chardonnay (2021) and A Hard Day for a Hangover (2022) continue the mix of mystery and humor.

The series also overlaps with the Betwixt & Between books through shared setting elements. Sunshine Vicram has a lighter feel than some of Jones’s supernatural fiction, though her trademark wit and strong female protagonist are fully present.
