Lee Ofsted is in her first year of playing professional golf. She's made the cut for a major tournament but has suddenly developed a slice. While retrieving practice balls lee finds the body of the top pro on the tour in a pond on the golf course. Enter Lieutenant Graham Sheldon. An enjoyable start to a mystery series. I would probably have enjoyed it more if I knew more about golf. I still enjoyed the budding relationship between Graham and Lee and I was rooting for Lee to do well in the tournament. ( )

Lee Ofsted is a young female golfer trying to make her way on the pro Tour but unfortunately she is having a problem with her 4 wood seemingly always slicing, but only with that club. Trying to save a few dollars, Lee goes to recover her practice balls that landed near the lake on the practice range and discovers another golfer in the lake.

Trying to continue in the tournament as well as discover the murderer makes Lee's golf game
a little off par.

I'm going to be looking for the next in this series.

My husband is an avid golfer, I frequently joke that in the ratings of what he counts as most important, golf is ahead of me. I thought reading a book centered on the golf course would be helpful for me to understand his passion. Didn't work that way, but it was a good mystery. ( )

Good story. Interesting characters nicely presented, a plausible murder with quite a few reasonable suspects. The background is a setting that was new to me the first time I read this - I think I've watched professional golf two or three times in my life, and played golf less often than that. But it's clearly and interestingly presented (Graham must have a mental block - or maybe Lee was going into too much detail). The relationship is quick but not unrealistically so, and the solution is neatly presented, with a bit of climactic action. Good solid mystery story. ( )
