Description from the publisher:

At the Canterbury Golf Club’s luncheon for prospective members, Beatrice Yates is horrified when a crystal golf ball that had been owned by the great golfer Bobby Jones goes missing.  Accusing the prospective members of stealing the priceless golf relic will surely insult them and they will stomp out, thus helping the thief escape and putting the New England small town club in yet more desperate financial straits.

Word might get around.  No new members might apply.  The club might close.

Because everyone in the clubhouse’s dining room is a suspect, amateur sleuth Beatrice is going to need all the help she can get to solve the mystery, find the thief, and recover the club’s precious crystal golf ball before lunch is over.

This closed-door, short cozy mini-mystery is just the beginning of Canterbury Golf Club’s problems, but it’s certainly not the last.  Enjoy this quick, bite-sized nugget of mystery and the series of golf-related mayhem starring Beatrice Yates, who is a retired kindergarten teacher and the Lady Captain at the Canterbury Golf Club!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



THE MYSTERY OF THE MISSING CRYSTAL GOLF BALL 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.



You don’t have to know anything about golf – and I don’t – to enjoy this quick mystery.  The clues are perfectly there to lead you and if you’ve ever dealt with children of any age (you know, 5 or 50), then you know how sneaky they can be.  Bea’s experience as a retired kindergarten teacher is put to good use!



This is a great introduction to what promises to be a fun series.
