Great golf, great mystery!

This is one of my favorite mysteries of all time. As an avid golfer, Jardine delights me by getting every detail of the game exactly right. As a mystery fan, he gives us enough details to keep the suspense tight and the satisfaction of the ending pure. And of course there is the Scottish setting! Just love it!

Thanks, Mr. Jardine!
