julieclair Stacked! I still need a Sunshine Noir book and this one looks fun. 😀 1y
Lauredhel @julieclair Ooh, fwiw I had a bit of a shortlist for this one - Jane Harper, Candice Fox, Sarah Bailey, Nailini Singh's “Madness of Sunshine“, the Veronica Mars books (Rob Thomas) 1y
julieclair Ooohhh… thanks! This is helpful. It‘s not a genre I normally read. ☀️ 1y

Lauredhel @julieclair Another one that would be perfect- 1y
Lauredhel @julieclair I keep thinking of more - if you like romantic suspense, Helene Young has a series starting here. Lots of competence porn 1y
Cinfhen Enjoy 1y
julieclair @Lauredhel Thank you for all these great recommendations! I have added several of them to my TBR, and now will have no trouble fulfilling the Sunshine Noir prompt. 😎☀️👍 1y
