During a neighborhood yard sale, the fate of Tom’s beloved chair comes down to a wager. But what Val antes up in exchange proves hard to live without, and soon has her wrestling the demons she keeps locked in her closet—both literally and figuratively.

With an old nemesis breathing down her back and a dear friend missing in action, Val soon finds herself jonesing for more than ordinary justice.

Who’ll win the battle of wills? Who’ll lose? And who in the world is Sir Albert Snoggles, III?Come along for the ride as Val’s “Hammer of Justice” lays waste to atrocities of both the ceramic and non-ceramic kind—and the gang learns that when you mess around with Karma, just who ends up dealing the final blow is anybody’s guess.

If you like wacky, deeply flawed characters and laugh-out-loud situations, you’ll love Figure Eight! It’s the eighth installment in Margaret Lashley’s hilarious Val Fremden Midlife Mystery Series.

Finally

I love the series. I more love the friends over Val. She for some reason drives me nuts. But not so nuts I can’t stop listening. I’m just happy he got a little taste of her stubbornness, controlling, and just having to learn. Love the series.

Love her humor

This is another great book by Margaret. She continues to make me laugh when Val has the silliest things happen to her. I love how she is slowly changing from book to book….maturing and growing more patient.

Love Val❤️

This series is one of my favorites! Val and the gang make me wish I had friends just like them.

Another winner

Margaret Lashley has done it again with the latest installment in her Val Fremden Midlife Mysteries series. As in the newer installments, this one too is a laugh out loud party. I highly recommend this book and series to cozy mystery fans.

love the way Val tried to solve her own joke that was played on her. I didn't even figure it out til it was reviled.

Can't express how much I love Margaret's writing. I love solving mysteries. Her books are extremely entertaining.

Supposed to be funny …

This audio book is about as funny as a broken leg! Author is trying way too hard and falls flat on her face. SKIP THIS ONE
