A former police detective and now a private investigator, Sunny takes on numerous cases while trying to sort out her life and her relationship with her ex-husband, Richie, and taking care of her English bull terrier, Rosie.
----
!!The books contain examples of:
* AmicablyDivorced: Sunny and Richie, for the most part. They still get along well and spend quite a bit of time together, to the detriment of their other relationships.
* [[spoiler:AttemptedRape]]: This happens at the end of "Shrink Rap", though Sunny [[spoiler:took something to counteract the drug John Melvin gave her. Unfortunately for Melanie Joan, it got far past the attempted stage.]]
* BrokenBird: Melanie Joan. She hides it well under her public persona, but John Melvin did serious damage to her psyche.
* CanineCompanion: Rosie the bull terrier.
* CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem: The simplest way to interpret Sunny's relationship with Richie.
* CrossOver: Sunny's therapist is [[Literature/{{Spenser}} Susan Silverman]]. Later on she begins a relationship with Literature/JesseStone.
* DaddysGirl: Sunny was (and still is) very close to her father.
* DamselInDistress: Frequently averted by Sunny (she's usually packing heat in that little purse of hers) but she also has a longstanding complex about not turning into one of these, sometimes with disastrous consequences.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: Averted. Sunny states that she can only cook three things competently (one of them being beef stroganoff) but since she spends so much time around Spike, who is a restaurant owner, she really doesn't have to cook much herself.
* FlorenceNightingaleEffect: John Melvin intentionally makes his female patients fall in love with him.
* FoodPorn: Less so than in the ''Literature/{{Spenser}}'' series, but Spike, who is a restaurant owner, frequently prepares yummy sounding things.
* GenerationXerox: Sunny and her father are very similar, and at the end of "Spare Change" [[spoiler:it turns out that the killer is the son of the Spare Change killer from decades before]].
* HandsomeDevil: John Melvin, who's explicitly described as looking like [[{{Superman}} Clark Kent]].
* HighClassCallGirl: [[spoiler:Erin Flint (aka Ethel Boverini) and her sister's former occupations]]
* IntimateHealing: In a very twisted way, [[spoiler:John Melvin convinces his patients that the only way to cure them is to let him drug them and have sex with them. [[{{Squick}} Then he brings in his friends...]]]]
* LawyerFriendlyCameo: "Shrink Rap" has an obvious stand-in for Creator/TomCruise named Hal Race threaten to walk out on a movie deal, but he eventually stays due to MoneyDearBoy.
* LikeParentLikeSpouse: One factor in Sunny and Richie's divorce was the realization that Sunny was looking for her father in Richie.
* ManipulativeBastard: John Melvin from "Shrink Rap". Emphasis on "Bastard".
* ManlyGay: Spike, who's also a bit of TheBear. Overlaps with BadassGay since he's more than capable of defending himself and quite intimidating even if he's just standing quietly.
* NeighbourhoodFriendlyGangsters: Richie's family is involved in TheIrishMob (though Richie himself was purposely kept out of the less legal parts of it), and one of his uncles helps out Sunny on occasion even though she's technically no longer family. When asked why, he says it's because he likes her.
* ThePrimaDonna: Erin Flint from ''Blue Screen''.
* PsychoPsychologist: John Melvin.
* SingleIssuePsychology: Lampshaded and mocked in "Shrink Rap", where Sunny's investigation of John Melvin has her go to a legitimate therapist who tells her that this method, which John Melvin uses, is bogus.
* StalkerWithACrush: John Melvin stalks Melanie Joan, his ex-wife, obsessively, which is why she hired Sunny.
* TakingTheKids: Played with, since while Richie and Sunny didn't have children, they do have their dog, Rosie, who they share custody of.
* ThereAreNoTherapists: Averted, since while initially reluctant Sunny ends up seeing one after the events of ''Shrink Rap'' to work out her relationship troubles. In her crossover appearance in ''High Profile'' she later convinces Jenn, Jesse's ex-wife, to seek therapy herself.
* UnholyMatrimony: At the end of "Blue Screen" [[spoiler:Erin and Gerard go back to California together after each claims that they killed Misty to save the other, and Sunny lets them go with the implication that the two fully deserve each other]]
* WhiteSheep: Richie was deliberately kept away from the less legal parts of the family business so he could be one of these.
* WigDressAccent: In "Shrink Rap", Sunny disguises herself with a wig and sunglasses. She does go a bit further by disguising her voice and using her full name (Sonya) and her former married name (Burke).
