Newly revised to resolve formatting and typographical problems. Nothing proves that golf is a killer of a game better than the Lee Ofsted mystery series. With a feisty sleuth who is a pro in the Women's Professional League, authors Charlotte and Aaron Elkins--who have won an Agatha Award together--score with fresh, original whodunits. They give an authentic insider's view of the sport while they break par with witty humor, clever plots, and top-rated suspense. In fact, pro golfer and amateur sleuth Lee Ofsted, now back in her third mystery, knows murder to a tee.... The golf course on bucolic Block Island has only nine holes, its fairways are swaths of meadow open to gusty sea breezes, and the "greens" are just compacted sand. Surprisingly, Lee Ofsted, there to teach golf to the executives of a local salvage company, doesn't mind. The setting is lovely, the rustic inn at which she is staying is charming, and the pay--$1,000 a day--will go a long way toward covering her expenses during her third year on the pro tour. but will it be compensation enough for solving a murder? After a bizarre, botched kidnapping of his sexy wife, the owner of the salvage company turns up dead on the beach. Lee can't resist doing a little nosing around, and soon discovers that nearly every manager at the company has a motive for murder. Plunging into the case, she asks her boyfriend, Graham Sheldon, a former California cop, for his expert help. Before long, the two of them are involved in a tale of greed and ruthless ambition that stretches back in time almost two hundred years, to the sunken treasure ship Good Hope, which went down in these very waters. As the pieces of the puzzle come together, Lee has to size up her competition--just as she would in a golf match. Only this time clutching under pressure could be fatal. For Lee Ofsted knows too much for the killer to let her live....

My second read in the Lee Ofsted Golf Mystery series. The setting was great and the mystery enthralling enough to keep me on my toes until the surprise ending. I like Lee and will definitely read more of this series. Learning a little about golf, which never interested me before. But it does now.

I started reading Charolette Elkins as I do enjoy her husband's books, and I was not disappointed. I also learned about more about golf in each of them.

This continues the series 'starring' Lee Ofsted, semi-pro golfer. She has been asked by a good friend to replace the originally-scheduled pro at a workshop/conference being done by a salvage company for its management employees.

This continues the series 'starring' Lee Ofsted, semi-pro golfer. She has been asked by a good friend to replace the originally-scheduled pro at a workshop/conference being done by a salvage company for its management employees. On her very first day, the wife of the owner is nearly kidnapped. Following that rather bizarre occurrence, Lee calls in her boyfriend who has stopped being a cop and is now running his own security firm. Graham arrives to advise the owner and the rest of the people in the company on what to do to keep safe, and he also speaks to the police officers about suspects in the kidnapping. Then someone actually dies, and all the secrets from the past start revealing themselves. This company is actually a perfect example of Why Nepotism is Bad Thing: everyone is either related or an old friend of everyone else. And it all comes down to what happened in the first salvage operation ever done by these individuals, an event during which their first partner died in an underwater accident. Interesting stuff about salvage that I never knew. The business stuff was kind of fun too, but over all, I'll stick with switching authors for awhile as mentioned above.

Lee Ofsted’s best pal, Peg Fiske, gets her a gig teaching the short game at an executive offsite on picturesque Block Island. When the owner, Stuart, is murdered, Lee and Peg just can’t help starting up their own investigation. Lee’s ex-cop security specialist boyfriend Graham shows up and yells at her for her risky behavior. It turns out that he is right, but it doesn’t make the yelling any more pleasant.

Actually 3.5 stars. I love the anthropologist series that Aaron Elkins writes so I thought I'd try this book in a new series. It's not as good but still makes for a good story. The main characters were likeable and relate-able, and the story and setting were well-written. (It may have been better if was a fan of golf.)
