That Time I Kinda Killed a Guy

A Val Fremden Humorous Mystery Book 1

De: Margaret Lashley

Narrado por: Sarah Pesek

One woman. One hammer. One guy who’s fixin’ to get nailed …

After 50 years of bumbling around on the planet, Val Fremden’s got nothing to show for her life but a long string of dead-end jobs and a two-digit bank balance. But just as she’s about to toss her champagne dreams and caviar wishes into the dumpster, Val discovers that Marco Shamway—the jerk who plagued her all through high school—is now a millionaire. Worse yet, the idea that catapulted Marco to fame and fortune was one he’d stolen … from her!

In an instant, Val’s bubble of midlife complacency bursts like a rotten tomato, splattering sour-grape juice all over her mediocre existence. Out for revenge, Val’s determined to make her mark on the world (or set the record straight?) even if it kills her—or better yet, him.

If you’ve ever longed to serve some jerk a steaming pile of their own just desserts, Val’s your gal! Hitch your wagon to this midlife mess and let her do the dirty work—while you laugh yourself silly all the way to the hilarious end.

Hilarious!

More Val! More Val! More Val! The Val Fremden books are funny, unique, zany, and entertaining. The narrator has a pleasing lower register voice and speaks like an actual human! Best narrator. Thanks again!

Just a fun listen

Loved all the characters, I laughed all the way thru this book & could not wait to move on to the next! Light, funny & wholesome. Thanks Margaret

Funny but…

The story is interesting and sometimes funny but the characters got on my nerves. They are in their fifties but act and talk like immature twelve year olds. Narration was great though.

Full of dry humor

This was a very humorous book. I will be listening to more of Margaret Lashley’s writing!

A Fun Romp

This light romp through a murder mystery will male you laugh out loud. I couldn't stop listening. The bumbling heroine with a sassy mouth will take you through twist and turns to solve the murder. I highly recommend this title and can not wait to read more by this author.

I love Val but

I just wish Val would put on her big girl pants and just deal. Along with the other side stories. Yes eventually they come out strong. But give Val some credit. I know there is ways people can be so dramatic but at some point let Val make one good decision. lol. But I love all the books

Great Story about bumbling person with the worst luck

If you've ever felt like you have the worst luck, you would be in great company with Val! Val doesn't just have no luck- she has the worst luck!! You are hooked on Vals story right from the beginning. I found myself rooting for her to finally have things turned around and something, anything good happen to her!

I love Val!

Too short! seems too short for the use of a credit. But the narration is great and the characters are vivid and done well love the trouble she’s always getting in to great to listen to makes me laugh out loud!

Val is Back!!

If you are looking for a fun mystery series, you’ve found it here!

Love this series and always love theses books and a little sad when I finish each of them. Hoping there will be a next book so we can find out what happened to Tom!!
