You could probably say that Piper O'Donnell was a spoiled
trophy wife without much of a brain in her head, and the
folks at the Woodlawn Golf and Country Club would agree
heartily -- well, at least the women would. But Piper truly
was trying to fit into the stuffy, cliché-ish society as
best she could, and that was by golfing with the girls.
But when she finds her wealthy older husband dead on their
bathroom floor, suddenly no one really wants to associate
with Piper anymore. Being fingered as the number one
suspect, Piper is as mad as hell and she is determined to
find out who snuffed out her sugar-daddy!
In Jennifer Vido's hilarious new amateur sleuth mystery,
PAR FOR THE COURSE, she takes her readers on a wild ride up
and down the courses at Woodlawn Country Club as her
hapless blonde heroine tries to flush out the real killer
before the killer tries to wipe her out as well.
Piper recruits her favorite handsome admirer, Rusty
O'Brien, to help her to figure out what has turned her
world upside down. And while Rusty tries his best to worm
himself into Piper's heart, he knows that his chances of
being husband #2 are slim until Piper finds out who is
trying to run her out of Woodlawn, Ohio.
Vido has created a cast of quirky characters that will
charm readers along with a roller coaster of a mystery that
will keep them glued to the pages until the very end. PAR
FOR THE COURSE is light, refreshing, and entertaining --
just perfect for an afternoon or evening of reading
enjoyment. I look for Piper to get into more trouble in the
near future, and I hope Rusty will be around to bail her out
once again.
Despite being the recipient of constant scorn and scrutiny
by her new country-clubber friends, Piper O’Donnell has
what it takes to turn her town upside down. If only her
husband hadn’t taken that supposedly “once in a lifetime
job.” Then she wouldn’t be stuck in a godforsaken place
trying to fit into a social set that thinks pashminas are a
type of camel and Kate Spade is some sort of a gardening
expert.
What she wouldn’t give for a mojito on the terrace of
some posh New York City café watching the latest fashions
strut by on 5th Avenue! Nowadays, playing nicey-nice with
the local “ladies who golf” is at the top of her list. Who
said the score has to count anyway? Isn’t the primary
purpose of the Ladies’ Nine Hole to catch up on the latest
scandal rocking the tiny suburb of Woodlawn, Ohio?
Just when her life seems to be settling down, Piper
finds herself embroiled in a suburban nightmare when her
wealthy older husband is mysteriously murdered and she is
implicated. Although golfing with the ladies is the hottest
game in town, Piper finds her own “hottie” Rusty O’Brien to
help soothe her broken heart. When a scandalous affair is
revealed and the suspect list begins to grow, romance kicks
into overdrive as Piper and Rusty team up to find the
murderer before he or she strikes again. Will this match
made in the cornfields be able to solve this mystery or has
Piper just taken her very last swing?
