You can’t fix stupid with duct tape. But you can muffle the sound.When Val tries to revive her old writing career, story ideas prove as elusive as a moment alone without her boyfriend Tom breathing down her neck.Tom’s moved in, and Val’s itching to move out – at least temporarily. A last-minute getaway to the country seems like the perfect solution for dissolving her writer’s block. But a fateful … her writer’s block. But a fateful fish fry ends up inspiring a whole different kind of dead end.
With an angry horde of RVers pointing the finger at Val, she’s got to out-smart Bigfoot, out-do a seedy crafter, out-wit a psycho killer, and just plain “out” whoever in blue blazes keeps scaring the daylights out of her with those hideous shrunken heads!
Whether Val gets out of this alive or not, one thing’s for sure. She’ll never trust the internet again….

Praise for Seven Daze
“Hooked like a fish. OMG Margaret Lashley is the best! 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!”

What a wild ride. Great mystery. Wonderful characters. Too much fun.
Tom has moved in with Val; JD has moved in with Laverne; the ladies are thinking about moving out! Val has a serious case of writer’s block. She escapes to Shell Hammock (aka Hell-ammo) in hopes of finding her muse. Val’s usual friends are not the most sane people but next to the rest of the RVers in Shell Hammock, Winky, Jorge and Goober start to look sane. Of course, Val ends up as a suspect in a murder and Tom is not there to have her back. Come along for another episode of Val’s crazy life!
This book is the 7th in the series and I didn’t think it was possible for this series to get better, but every book is better than the last! I absolutely love the “characters” in between the pages and I can see them coming to my house for a cup of coffee. There were so many twists and turns and surprises in this book,and it will keep you guessing all the way to the end. I grew up in the area that this series takes place so that makes it even funnier.At one point I laughed so loud I woke up the fur-babies and they literally glared at me, Thank you Margaret Lashley for the great writing. The situations that Val and her pals get into are so hilarious because they are so real.
Val Embraces Her Inner Redneck
In this episode, Val faces more personal demons to find inner strengths she forgot she had. She embraces her inner redneck to find the true meaning of family. The book is hilarious fun in a very redneck sort of way. The crazy friends become even closer as more friends join the group. Each book of this series is better than the last!I received this book for free and voluntarily chose to post my honest review.
I never laugh as much as I do when I am reading a Val book. They are hysterical from beginning to end. Val has a crazy life, crazy friends, and always ends up in a crazy situation. However, I always find something to relate to about the situations, or the relationships, she finds herself in. Margaret Lashley has created a character that is believable in her insanity. I spent the whole book laughing until tears were running down my cheeks, but there was also a part of me that recognized parts of myself, and people I know, in the characters. That is why this series has brought me so much joy. I feel like I am looking at a slightly exaggerated version of my life and being able to laugh at it makes me able to laugh about my own life. I can’t recommend these books enough. Read them for the laughs, read them for the fun, twisty-turny mystery, just READ THEM!
Val is having problems having Tom around..ALL THE TIME! She needs some breathing room, she also is trying her hand at writing a book. Problem is she can’t because the story ideas are not there. She decides a few days in the country is just what she needs to get her writing juices flowing….and without Tom. That’s when things all go so, so wrong for Val! She ends up with a lot of RVers mad at her when a fish fry ends up with a dead body. Then there is Bigfoot, a seedy crafter, psycho killer, some odd ball scaring the daylights out of her with those darn shrunken heads! Can Val solve the murder and prove she is a ‘good gal’ before she ends up another dead fish in the sea? The characters and interaction in this book is totally ‘wet your pants laughing’ funny!! Don’t believe me? Grab a copy for yourself and see. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. The review is my own opinion and unbiased.
