Description from the publisher:
On the night of the Canterbury Golf
Club’s First Annual Glow-ball Golf Tournament, Lady Captain Beatrice Yates
argues with Rudolph “Ruddy” Agani in front of all the members and specially
invited guests because Ruddy can’t get along with anyone. When Ruddy is found murdered on the club’s
seventeenth hole soon after, Beatrice becomes the prime suspect. Even her best friend and golf partner, Trudi,
struggles to defend her.
But Beatrice is not the only golfer who wanted to bash Ruddy over the head with a niblick. Ruddy was a stingy old coot and owed plenty of people in the small town money that he could’ve paid back, and he had carried those penny-pinching ways over to the club’s finances, too. The list of suspects looks like Saturday morning’s tee times schedule.
With her best friend, Trudi, and her cantankerous uncle Arnie at her side, retired kindergarten-teacher Beatrice is prepared to play the whole course to solve the mystery, find the killer, and repair the club’s reputation before money problems force her cherished club to close.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A MURDER AT THE COUNTRY CLUB is the first
book in the Canterbury Golf Club
Mystery series. Each will stand
on its own, but I would strongly suggest reading them in the order of release.
I really liked Miss Bea. The way she made little asides about each
person’s personality is just the way that I talk and remember people. My favorite person was her nerdy, scientist,
best friend, Trudi. When even your best
friend is having trouble believing your innocence you know you’ve let your
curiosity get too big! Still loyalty is
important. It was fun to follow Trudi
and Bea as they worked the golf course and their members.
I may never know a putter from a
wood, but I’ll continue stepping onto the metaphorical greens at Canterbury.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC
