Book 5 of the Castle Perilous series morph into a whodunit. And a cheese detective story. And just a bit of other worldly adventure to keep it all honest to form.
Thaxton and Dalton, the resident universal golfers, stumble upon a fresh corpse in the castle. The suspects are all relatives of the Lord of the Castle, Incarnadine who as always is away on business. The two golfers who took on the golf course from hell in the last book now find themselves playing Sherlock Homes and Dr. Watson.
Interloped within the main plot is a cheesey detective style sub-plot complete with a dame and a wise cracking Italian driver. To round it all out Gene, Snowclaw and Linda find themself criscrossing the universe in search of a missing guest.
This installment is true to the series. It is not better or worse then any of the other offerings. It is on par, which would please Thaxton and Dalton quite nicely.
