Story4.5 out of 5 stars 525
It's 1974 and Ellison Russell's life revolves around her daughter and her art. She's long since stopped caring about her cheating husband, Henry, and the women with whom he entertains himself. That is, until she becomes a suspect in Madeline Harper's death. The murder forces Ellison to confront her husband's proclivities and his crimes - kinky sex, petty cruelties, and blackmail. As the body count approaches par on the seventh hole, Ellison knows she has to catch a killer.

Reviewed: 07-22-18
I didn't take time to check the original published date, many cultural references were outdated. I am an over-60 reader and caught myself wondering if a young person would 'get it' for a Watergate reference and others throughout the story. But since I did understand them I did not let that derail me and I finished the book. It was a good read, sufficient plot twists to hold the readers interest. I would read more by this author. The narration was a bit mono-syllabic, robotic sounding at times.
