Berebury golf course in the county of Calleshire is an unlikely place for a murder. Set in pleasant landscape and boasting a splendid view of the town of Berebury, the golf course is more situated to fun and games than murder and mayhem. So when flirtatious golfing beginner Helen Ewell goes in search of a wayward golf ball in the dreaded "Hell's Bells" bunker she is not prepared for the horrible surprise that lies buried beneath the soft sand.

      This is not the first mystery to feature murder on a golf course, but it may be the most improbable. Aird's small-town police procedurals featuring CD Sloan are all tongue-in-cheek, but this one is over the top. Bruce Montague handles the greensward murder and subsequent confusion with aplomb, keeping the plot and characters well in hand. Each major character has a distinct voice with subtle gradations. CD Sloan's voice, for example, differs depending on whether he is speaking to his superior or to his subordinates. Montague also handles women, Scots accents, and young and old golfers with believability and a lighthearted take on the material. R.E.K. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine

      Fans have waited two years for another of Aird's Calleshire County police procedurals, and if you like golf, this well-crafted whodunit was especially worth the wait. "Seedy" Sloan and his trip-over-the-truth sidekick, Detective Constable Crosby, tramp over hill and sand trap in search of the killer of an unknown male found buried behind the sixth green at the Berebury Golf Club. Eventually, they identify the victim as a likable young caddie who was dating the daughter of a member bidding on some land the club was planning to sell. Along the way, Sloan, who prefers roses, learns more than he cares to about golf: the history of the game, the names of each club, the lingo (a beginner is called a "rabbit"), even the origin of the term "links." Full of poetical, biblical and Shakespearian references, this fun read delivers a denouement that finishes the game well under par. Nicely played.
