Three Dumb

They say three's the charm. But charming isn't Val's style. Val Fremden is a lot of things. Quirky. Jaded. Disaster prone. But more than anything, she's afraid of commitment. When boyfriend Tom tells her he loves her - then trades her mom's ashes away for a tiki hut - Val's just not feelin' it. On the warpath with Tom, Val's forced to rely on her oddball friends to help track down her mom's cremains. But three botched stakeouts and two disasters later, she still hasn't got peanuts. Through trial (but mostly error), Val discovers it's not easy to outwit a mobile master of disguise when she's stuck driving a paddy wagon full of nutcases. She loves Tom...she loves him not. Knowing Val, she's gonna need a bigger flower.... Three Dumb is a satirical look at how life, over time, changes our perception of love and the things we value. It's told through the eyes of a snarky, middle-aged woman with legendary commitment issues and a gnawing reluctance toward romance. If you like deeply flawed characters and laugh-out-loud situations, you'll love Three Dumb. It's the fourth book in Margaret Lashley's hilarious, irreverent Val & Pals Series of seriously funny women's fiction.
