On the Fringe (Severn House Mysteries)
All professional golfer Lee Ofsted wants to do when she arrives in Hawaii is fulfill her duties as the celebrity attraction at the Mauna Kea Golf Club's centennial and then relax until her impending marriage to security consultant Graham Sheldon. But shortly after she arrives, the body of Mauna Kea's oldest member, Hamish Wyndham, is found in the club's billiards room. Inevitably, Lee, whose propensity for snooping has led her into several murder investigations, embarks on a bit of amateur detecting, with the help of her friend and fellow snoop Peg. The pair soon learns that there were plenty of people who had good reason to hate Wyndham. Also figuring into the murder could be a spooky local legend, a long-lost trophy designed by Louis Tiffany, a secret passage or two, and some truly bizarre initiation rituals at the Mauna Kea. Effortless writing, humorous banter, intriguing characters, and a well-formed plot make the Elkinses' latest a solid addition to most mystery collections.Emily MeltonCopyright © American Library Association.
