Review of Golf. Tennis. Murder.
Posted: 23 Nov 2022, 20:55
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Golf. Tennis. Murder." by William J Palmer.]
Nicolas Jones is a self-appointed private investigator in Los Angeles. He has a circle of golf pals named the W.D.G.A. (Wednesday Drunken Golfers Association). They all have nicknames, and Nicolas has his as Sherlock Jones. This self-appointed private investigator maintains consistency in only one thing— drinking beer! He spends more time drinking booze than undertaking his job. But he is from a moneyed family, so why care?
One wealthy elderly man, "the Suit," contacts Sherlock Jones in dire need of his investigative services. "The Suit" wants his young mistress named Sasha trailed. Despite his marriage to his wife spanning over three decades, this man feels the need to go for a younger twenty-something-year-old. Sherlock Jones thinks this is one of his typical cases where he squanders more time on beer than working. Unfortunately, when a body winds up dead in their fancy country club, things take an unpleasant turn, and our self-appointed private investigator is trapped in the middle of the heat!
I loved how people with money could do anything they desired. From buying late-model posh drives to expensive country club membership, life was smooth with cash. Beneath all the facade of ideal marriages and exquisite mansions lay a web of sexual deviance and imperfections. You learn that money is the glue holding these marriages together. But for Sherlock, there are only two things holding his life together— golf and beer, mostly the latter.
I enjoyed the Wednesday Drunken Golfers Association. The guys were hilarious and easygoing. They even picked one another's nicknames. They'd roast one another over beer, and their sense of humor dominated their interactions. I loved Sherlock for being relatable. He led a simple life of golf and beer— not like he had an option, considering his low-paying career.
The book had a few grammatical errors. Therefore, it's sincere to affirm its professional editing. That said, some excess information became monotonous as the plot thickened. While I fancied following Sherlock's golfing passion, the comprehensive descriptions and parlance became a bit off-putting. That's what I disliked. However, that was no aspect to mess with the rating. I award Golf. Tennis. Murder. by William J Palmer 4 out of 4 stars and 5 out of 5 stars. As I reached halfway, I couldn't put down the novel; I was too engrossed in the murder investigation, Sherlock's drinking sprees, and eroticism.
If you desire to read about rich people's problems and love triangles, grab a copy of this work. In addition, I recommend it to lovers of crime, detective skills, golf, and tennis.
