What Four: Family Fruitcake Frenzy (Val Fremden Midlife Mysteries) [Paperback]

Description: Most Definitely Contains Nuts All Val Fremden wanted was a quiet holiday away from her oddball family. But that just ain't gonna happen. When Val and her boyfriend arrive at her mother's "country estate" in Hicksville, Florida, the annual family fruitcake competition is well underway. And there's more than a few fruits and nuts in the running. But the biggest contest is between Val and her mom. As their battle of wills heats up, unexpected ingredients get thrown into both women's batter. It may be time to call the law - or at least a referee. Who will come out on top? Who will get their just desserts? And will Val's half-baked family turn out to be too much for Tom to handle, or will he rise to the occasion? Going home for the holidays is a mixed bag for many. What Four celebrates the universal love-hate relationships we all have with our relatives. Even at the best of times, our families leave us teetering on the edge of pride and embarrassment. This double-edged sword cuts clean to the bone, exposing how far we've come -- and how far we have yet to go -- on our struggles to be our authentic selves. If you like deeply flawed characters and laugh-out-loud situations, you'll love What Four. It's book four in Lashley's hilarious, irreverent Val Fremden Midlife Mystery series. P.S. If you love humorous, page-turning mysteries like those by Deborah Brown, Julie Mulhern, Lucy Quinn, Tricia O'Malley, Gemma Halliday, Karen Cantwell, Tara Sivec, Liliana Hart, Libby Howard, Chelsea Field, Jana Deleon, Gina LaManna, Janet Evanovich, Denise Grover Swank, Amy Vansant, and Stephanie Bond, you just might love Glad One, too! What Readers are Saying about What Four: "The best read of the Val Fremden Mystery series so far! I laughed and laughed!""A little shame, a lot of love, and a whole bushel of "what the hell!?" Oh please, if I die laughing, just know it was worth it!""I have NEVER related to a character more than I related to Val in this story.""I laughed and cried until tears ran down my cheeks. My heart swelled with joy, my gut clenched with pain. I wanted to reach into the book and hug Val like she was a long lost sister.""It's like the Hatfields and McCoys feud only with fruitcake.""Funny, quirky, and real, this novel is a great continuation of Val's story."
