Missing at Marshlands Arden Blake Mystery Series #3

Three close‑knit college friends set off for a carefree summer at the coastal resort known as Marshlands, their first long road trip without chaperones. After packing their belongings and sharing light‑hearted banter, they climb into Arden’s family touring car and leave the campus behind. The rolling hills give way to windswept dunes, promising a break from textbooks and exams.

Midway through the journey the trio spots a stalled automobile stranded on a lonely stretch of road. With no garage in sight, they decide to investigate, unsure whether they’ll find a simple fix or something more troubling. The quiet countryside hides an uneasy tension that pulls the girls into an unexpected puzzle.

Soon the missing‑person mystery that looms over the marshes begins to intersect with the girls’ own curiosity. Arden’s keen mind and the companions’ determination turn a chance roadside encounter into a tangled hunt for clues, setting the stage for a classic, suspense‑filled investigation.
