With his family (and entirely against his will), Archie Lemons returns to his hometown of Bakersfield, California. On the agenda: a cold case, a homecoming speech at his old high school (that he doesn't want to give), and a 90's-themed class reunion (which he absolutely, positively will not attend - probably).
Then things go wrong.
Along the way, Archie and his wife Elise befriend a group of students putting on a play. Three days before opening night, their director goes missing without a trace.
With everyone around them in a panic, it's up to Archie and Elise to solve their cold case, find the missing director, make a speech in front of the class, meet up with old friends and a few enemies, and maybe, just maybe, go to the reunion.
'Another Ridiculous Week in Bakersfield' is a light, funny mystery with a lot of heart, about finding happiness in the least likely of places.
Basically, it's a romcom...with murder!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Grant Fieldgrove was born in Bakersfield, CA at the tail end of the rockin' 1970's! After successfully avoiding work and responsibility for over twenty years, he finally landed a job soul-crushing enough to, after several years of procrastination, finally make him settle down and follow his dream of being an awesome writer of only life-changing, high brow literature...when that didn't work, he took to comedy.

He still lives in Bakersfield with his wife Julie and his son McClane, who is non-verbal autistic.

His latest novel, Meet Me at Jimmy’s Arcade, arrives in early 2023 and features several stories from his life growing up in the 80’s.

He loves pizza and terrible VHS horror flicks, and has several movies in various stages of production, including the dramedy Good Side of Bad, and the slasher horror Time’s Up.

Loved the main characters and the way they solved crimes with their own brand of humor. Did not enjoy the g d and other curse words throughout the book.

This is my first by this author. I enjoyed the book and think this author knows how to keep a person interested in her writing but I don't feel like she has to use all the four letter words to tell the story.

I wasn’t entirely certain what to expect when my husband bought this and two other Archie and Elise Lemon mysteries. THEY’RE GREAT! I particularly liked the way and the amount of the story dealt with Archie’s issues - and how he addressed autism. Without giving anything away, I’ll just say that I’m hooked and will be reading ALL of Grant’s work - including his “little play.”

Sadly, I just couldn't get into it. I don't know if it was how it was written or the story itself. Just couldn't finish it

Some absolutely brilliant imagery in this book which had me laughing out loud, much to my wife's annoyance! But at the same time there are elements of mystery and mayhem, and ex-PI Archie's autism is treated in a sensitive way. With plenty of references to old movies and a 90's themed school reunion includes an interesting playlist of 90's music.
