Involved plotting

Very nice first mystery about a club golf pro. Has a complex plot with many characters. The hero is described well, but some of the mystery is generated by the abbreviated treatment of the other characters.

Excellent Murder Mystery

Moves fast. Interesting characters with motive and opportunity. A lawyer turned Golf Pro, has the right mix of Golf sense and a sixth sense to boot! Murder on the Golf course seems so unlikely, that you must find out "who done it".
