"Interesting golf who-done-it"
After graduating golf school with a birdie putt, Cassie
Burdette now has partially exempt status on the LPGA tour,
which means a certain amount of tourney play. She can also
play in events where a last minute opening occurs such as
just happened at the Shop Rite LPGA Classic, a pro-amateur
event. Cassie is playing with four scientists working on a
new Alzheimer's drug and she immediately takes to the only
other woman on the team. After the first day of play, the Meditron group invites
Cassie to go with them to the Showboat Casino where Erica
and Cassie run into a female teen in trouble. Erica takes
the kid to her room but the next day fails to show up to
play golf with her co-workers. Cassie finds this
particularly ominous and decides to go to see if Erica is
okay. When Cassie persuades management to open the door
they find Erica dead in her bed, the victim of an
overdose. Cassie doesn't believe Erica committed suicide
and starts her own investigation, an action that almost
leads to a double bogie for her and a close friend. Golf enthusiasts and fans of amateur sleuth novels will
definitely enjoy A BURIED LIE, a tale that gives the reader
insight into the competitive world of professional golf.
The audience will like Cassie because she is willing to act
on her hunches when even the police think no crime has been
committed. Roberta Isleib knows how to write an
interesting who-done-it that is a hole in one for the
audience. Harriet Klausner

SummaryUp-and-coming golfer Cassie Burdette has made it through
the hell of Qualifying School-only to land herself in the
hell of a pro-am tournament. Teamed up with four doctors
from a pharmaceutical company, she's afraid she'll overdose
on their over-sized egos. But when one of them turns up
dead, Cassie suspects these doctors prescribe to a very
different kind of game.
