Are you seeking an enticing new mystery series, filled with first-rate characters, and breathtaking twists and turns?

Then meet Arnold Landon, mild-mannered history buff turned amateur sleuth.

“The skilful Mr Lewis has made Arnold Landon an unforgettable character.” New York Times

______________________________________________

Originally published as A Short-lived Ghost.

A ruthless new boss shakes up Arnold’s quiet life at the council.

From the moment Karen Stannard comes striding in the door, Arnold Landon knows his workplace will never be the same.

Now, he is saddled with a project he never wanted: the Ridgeway Viking Trust. Its shady leaders tell him there’s treasure buried in the rolling Northumberland Hills — they just need one more payout to reach it.

But is there more to the Trust than meets the eye?

Muck-raking journalist Alan Crickley seems to think so. He’s got the scent of corruption and he’s on the trail . . .

Until the day he drives his car into a ditch, a stone’s throw from the dig.

A coincidence? An accident? Or something more sinister?

Fans of Elly Griffiths, Peter James, P.D. James, Damien Boyd, Helen H. Durrant, J.D. Kirk, Bill Kitson and Peter Robinson will devour this intriguing mystery.

What everyone is saying about the Arnold Landon mysteries:

“Assembling layer upon layer of details . . . Lewis brings an insidious cleverness to his latest offering . . . canny enough to keep us enthralled.” Publishers Weekly

“A pleasure to pick up.” Irish Times

“Right atmosphere of menace in this highly charged mystery.” Booklist

“This intelligent, nicely textured mystery gathers speed and races to a thrilling conclusion.” Kirkus

“Good Northern atmosphere and neatly satisfying plot.” Times Literary Supplement

“Always a good read.” Berys

THE DETECTIVE
Planning Officer Arnold Landon is inhibited and painfully aware of his lack of academic credentials. He lives in the North East of England and as self-taught archaeologist he confounds academic experts with his detailed knowledge, which involves him in a local murder. His expertise brings him promotion to the Archaeology Department where he meets frustration, which he nevertheless overcomes by making important discoveries of ancient artefacts while playing a leading role in solving local crimes. A succession of opportunities for further promotion pass him by because of his desire to remain in touch with the detailed history of sites in Northumberland and this leads to more conflict, first with his inadequate superior and then with the stunningly beautiful Karen Stannard and, later in his career, the Italian archaeologist Carmela Cacciatore.

I have read all of Roy Lewis's books this book is not a lot different than his other books, I enjoy the technical detail, I also think that Arnold is growing stronger he now stands up for himself a lovely character. I enjoyed this book immensely, can't wait to read the next.

Another well researched Arnold Landon Mystery

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 November 2021

Arnold is building a strong reputation as an amateur archaeologist and has won respect of professionals in that field. As the books progress he is moved from department to department as his bosses are generally incompetent and do not like Arnold unwittingly getting the Limelight. At the end of this book he looks set for another move as his latest boss, a glamorous Lesbian, feels threatened by him and believes, unfairly that he is after her job as the Deputy Director. As usual Roy Lewis keeps you guessing and wanting to turn the pages.

So sad!

A man’s life ruined - hard prison time. A stupid death. Greedy people deceiving an elderly lady. They so nearly get away with it all, too. But thanks to Arnold’s horrible boss, he is in place to solve it all and get a cracking new job offer too! Onward.

Likeable Hero

This series of books is just perfect if you want an easy read and one where you get to know the main character.
Arnold our hero is always in the wrong place and bodies start to appear.
I am greatly enjoying the series and am always looking forward to the next one coming out. The plots are a bit tenuous but still a good read.
Give them a go but do start with the first one.
Enjoy

A change from the normal detective series

I have read 10 books now of Arnold Landon. I’ve enjoyed every one. Such a nice change from the normal detective series. Highly recommended
No gore no over the top descriptions of violence and even better, the author doesn’t resort to unnecessary foul Language

Shame the end was an anticlimax.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 October 2021

Verified Purchase

Great start to the book, the plot carried on well developing the character's. The end seemed somewhat rushed though with some of the books main character's not featuring in the finish.
