Publisher's summary
After a bizarre, botched kidnapping of his sexy wife, the owner of the salvage company turns up dead on the beach. Lee 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 cop, for his expert help. Before long, the two of them are involved in a tale of greed and ambition that stretches back in time almost 200 years, to a sunken treasure ship that went down in these very waters.

Story
Aaron Elkins, the author of the Edgar-winning Old Bones, teamed up with his wife, Charlotte, to fashion this lighthearted mystery - a fictional look at the less glamorous side of a golf tour. In this first Lee Ofsted mystery, Lee is a "rabbit" golfer in the Pacific-Western Women's Pro-Am. She made it into the tournament by the skin of her teeth and suddenly she can't keep her long drives from slicing - veering sharply to the right. She is hitting the ball perfectly and it simply isn't going where it is supposed to.

For Bryan Bennett, designing hostage negotiation programs is the perfect job - as long as he doesn’t deal directly with kidnappers or their victims. Intense nightmares of his own abduction and imprisonment as a small boy still plague him thirty-some years later, and claustrophobia prevents him from attempting to travel. So when Bryan’s boss asks him to fly to Reykjavik to teach his corporate-level kidnapping and extortion seminar, he initially refuses. But a CEO has specifically requested Bryan - or no one else. Finally Bryan relents.

"Amateur detectives come in all guises: why not a struggling female golf pro?....There are some genuinely funny scenes here, and O'Malley reads as if she's in on the joke. She also brings out Ofsted's intelligence and courage. This is lightweight fare, competently served." (AudioFile)

Story
Alan Gregory is a clinical psychologist with a thriving practice in Boulder, Colorado. His life begins to unravel when one of his female patients is found in an apparent suicide and the local paper begins printing accusations from an unnamed source of sexual impropriety between the woman and Dr. Gregory. He launches a psychological and personal quest for the truth that rapidly intensifies when more of his patients die untimely deaths, and Gregory suspects not only that the deaths are related but that another one of his patients may be somehow involved. Lacking facts but roused by suspicion and troubled by seemingly random acts of terror around him, Gregory starts to fear for the safety of the people he loves. The question of the inviolability of confidential disclosures made to Gregory by his patients - privileged information - becomes crucial as the psychologist pursues an unsettling romance with Lauren Crowder, a lovely deputy district attorney investigating one of the deaths. Bound to silence, Gregory follows the psychological tracks of someone he fears may be a cunning and disturbed killer, while turning to his enigmatic but supportive partner, Diane Estevez, for counsel, and to his tart-tongued female urologist neighbor for support. The sinister, surprising drama unfolds against Boulder's Rocky Mountain backdrop, in the arresting natural beauty of Aspen, and in the midst of a baroque Halloween costume party in downtown Boulder. Finally, in a lonely mountain lodge enshrouded in menace, the story comes to its breathtaking climax.

Fun mystery with a golf theme!
I have really enjoyed this whole series of golf course mysteries. They are light listening rather than Agatha Christy or Arthur Conan Doyle type. I have been unable to determine the scheme before hand. I recommend them to anyone who likes mysteries and golf.

Lee Ofsted 3: Another good golf murder mystery
It starts with a treasure hunt - that turns deadly. Three men on the boat find a wreck holding treasure, and one insists on going down again, but the weather turns and they need to bring him back before a storm hits. Problem is his line seems snagged. They cut it to give him a slim chance but it isn't enough. One of the two buys out the other and becomes filthy rich. The other becomes a modest success, owning a resort.
Peg tempts Lee into teaching at a corporate golf retreat --the corporation is the one the man who became rich founded. The resort is the one owned by his old partner. Of course, there is soon a murder -- the rich partner. Suspects abound. His wife is almost kidnapped right off the golf course, until Lee intervenes, but the woman is critical rather than grateful. The guy he just promoted to lead the company is a bean-counting slave driver. Another employee who was actually a diver who helped recover the fortune is passed over for the promotion. A female employee is a relative. What starts out as a group of unrelated coworkers seems to turn into a tangle of relationships, and as usual, Lee gets in the middle and the killer is watching...
