That Time I Kinda Killed a Guy

A Val Fremden Humorous Mystery Book 1

By: Margaret Lashley

Narrated by: 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!

Hilarious!

This high quality comedy mystery audiobook is a hilarious rollercoaster of twists and turns! The interesting characters and snappy dialogue are loads of fun!

Good mystery.

I didn't guess the ending. It was a bit convoluted. Her not knowing Marco's identity was a stretch. And Laverne's voice was very annoying.

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.
