Val could be Stephanie Plum's double!! Phenomenal writing."“I love this rollicking series. Hilarious, exceedingly well crafted, amazingly quirky characters.”“The characters and interaction in this book are totally 'wet your pants laughing' funny!! Don't believe me? Grab a copy for yourself and see.”“I was totally surprised, after many twists and false clues, by the ultimate killer….”“I like murder mysteries that, like I found this one, are not easily solved, And Val's constant run-ins with the local police and her fellow campers are crazy, humorous, or both.”“Totally madcap and zany.”“I loved this book! It was still hysterically funny. I don't think that I ever want to be invited to a redneck BBQ based upon what was served at Winky's. Cheetos and marshmallow fluff anyone? LOL”“The only thing that I can say bad about this book is that it was such an easy read that I finished reading it too soon. Will anxiously be waiting for the eighth book!”"If you like Janet Evanovich you will love Margaret Lashley!"
