Publisher's summary

Sir Roger Parkes is a man of some influence in the West Country. When he loses touch with his youngest daughter, he has a word with the Assistant Chief Constable of the local force. It's not a police matter, he is told, but if Sir Roger wants to pursue it privately, there is a lady who might be able to help-two of them, actually.

As far as Summer Lane is concerned, she has enough problems without going into the investigations business with her next door neighbor; Mrs. Emily Willows's problems all seem to center around the fact that her neighbor is refusing to go into the investigations business with her. They have reached, it seems, an impasse. Until, that is, Emily notices that someone has left a message on her answering machine . . .

This is Peter Grangers best book yet

Enjoyable Listening

The story is predictable, I enjoyed the narrator. It was an leasy listen, as I am tired of really graphic mysteries.

Another good story!

Well written as always….hope there will be another in the future. Summer amd Emjly make an unlikely but interesting pair of characters.

An entertaining listen

I enjoyed the first two books in this series so I figured I would also enjoy this third one. I was right - and am wishing that it had lasted longer. I like learning about the characters and seeing them grow.

I Thoroughly enjoyed this book!

I listened to One-Way Tickets and Lane previously to this book and both were very enjoyable. I think I like Arcadia best of the three Willows and Lane books though. Maybe just because I read it last. Don’t know for sure. They are quite different from the D. C. Smith series.

I have read most of Peter Grainger’s D. C. Smith Investigation series. To be honest, I actually thought One-way Tickets was another book in that series when I got it. I read (listened) to it anyway and was glad I did.

MUST LISTEN TO THIS!!!

It’s very important to start with book 1 and follow them. They build a foundation and stunning events that build in each book. This is the best book so far but 1 and 2 are both a very close second.
Absolutely LOVE this series!

Enjoyed it so much, listened twice

Great character development. Great characters. Hope there will be more Lane, Nick, Robby and Flynn in the future. Narrator was spot on with accents, even Shelly the American.

Was surprised there were a couple of negative reviews. Will say I had to listen closely to follow the timeline. Lost some elements while walking the dog which is why I enjoyed listening a second time.

A fun and exciting read.

I hope this book is a preview of more novels that include this expanding cast of characters. I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to exciting conclusion. The narrator and her narration were both superb and flawless.
