“Deliciously screwball!” “This is one of those books that make you want to curl up in a cozy chair and forget the world.”
Old Habits Die Hard — But Old Lounge Chairs Die Harder.
Val knows she can’t solve all the world’s problems, so she’s settled on two: smashing every tacky figurine on the planet…and ridding the universe of her boyfriend’s hideous vinyl recliner.
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 deeply flawed characters and laugh-out-loud situations, you’ll love Figure Eight. It’s the eighth book in Lashley’s hilarious Val Fremden Midlife Misadventures series. Get set for a wickedly witty slide down the social ladder with a surprising cast of unexpected misfits!

If you adore funny, women-centric mysteries like Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum or Jana Deleon's Fortune Redding, and hilarious-yet-heartfelt stories like Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones, you'll probably find yourself resonating with Val Fremden, too. She's a lovable, bungling mess who's a bit older, a tad more jaded, and a ton more experienced in big-time failure. Life’s been tough for Val. Still, she always manages to find her way with sardonic humor and an intrepid spirit. A gin and tonic now and then helps, too.
