Sloan and Crosby have to respond to a body found on a golf course - with Superintendent Leeyes on the scene. When a second body is found, finding the murderer becomes even more urgent - especially as they race to prevent a third murder.

Aird writes well, and the plot is good. The character of the murderer was a little under-developed - so it came as a bit of a surprise.

Aird is once again serviceable, but not sensational. Passes the time without being overly creepy etc. I’ll admit that I listen to her audiobooks at night to fall asleep.

Don't really like the style of writing. Had also read it before but completely forgotten it until about half way through which probably says it all.

In usual Aird fashion this book immerses the reader into the world of the moment, in this case, golf. Inspector Sloan is called out to the golf club by Inspector Lees when the female twosome playing in front of Lees discovers a body buried in the bunker behind the sixth hole. The face is damaged, and it is not immediately known who is dead. Why takes even longer. Sloan must discover who may have had access, when the body might have been placed in the bunker, and why they might have been killed. Another body turns up, and for this one the motive is more obvious, but who is behind it all causes Sloan to look to his own past.

Poor Sloan has to deal with GOLF! But Crosby gets a legitimate reason to drive fast.
