Written by a Northern MI author, I wanted to like it. It's ok and I enjoy reading about recognizable areas of Northern Michigan. I didn't like the characters enough or the storyline.

[Gaston G. · Rating 4 out of 5]

this was Richard L. Baldwin's 3rd book. Richard is still improving his wrting style. Some of his later books thatI've read already - The Matina Murders and Crossing on the Badger - are pretty good.

The story line of this book is pretty good. A golfer is poisoned on the golf course a few days after his group had an altercation with other golfers where one is a wealthy man who always gets even. there are other characters that help to embelish the plot. the story could make a good movie. However, it was a hard read as the writing style is very rough but a good story nonetheless.
