Bermuda Grass

By Keith Miles

Book Overview

Helping to design a golf course in Bermuda, Alan Saxon takes his daughter, Lynette, there for a holiday. Saxon is alarmed to meet Lynette's friend and fellow student, Jessica Hadlow, who is joining them. Arrogant, outspoken and brimming with sexuality, Jessica is the daughter of a millionaire business tycoon. Saxon then learns that someone is trying to sabotage the new golf course, and he stumbles on a murder victim who has been hanged from one of the trees. A romance with an American woman staying at the hotel provides a welcome distraction from these misfortunes until Lynette and Jessica are both abducted. The event not only brings Jessica's obnoxious father storming to the island, it also prompts Saxon's ex-wife to come as well. Will Saxon solve the case?

Customer Reviews

A Great Mystery, perfect blend of golf and suspense

I read this book originally only because I have recently taken up golf. However, upon starting the book I found myself drawn into it. The plot of the book centers around Alan Saxon, and the trouble he faces while designing a golf course in Bermuda. He has a long vivist in the country, and plans to take his daughter with him. his ex-wife then dumps one of his daughter's frinds on him as well. This book will keep you turning pages. I reccomend it to any reader.

A Hole in One!

Alan Saxon, a well known professional golfer, and past winner of the British Open, comes to Bermuda to assist in designing a golf course at an upscale resort. He wants to spend some time with his daughter, Lynette, on holiday from Oxford, but his plans are complicated through a friend Lynette brings with her. Jessica Hadlow is the spoiled, incorrigible daughter of a rich, international businessman. While Lynette and Jessica spend much of their time with two young men they've met at the resort, Alan deals with a string of continuous and disconcerting problems that plague the construction of the golf course. When the complications include murder, and the girls are kidnapped, Alan realizes that it's no longer about a game - someone is playing for keeps.While Alan fights to keep his partner in Bermuda and the golf course project alive, his ex-wife flies out to join in the search for their daughter. Jessica's father, a decidedly unpleasant man, also comes to Bermuda. Balancing the kidnappers, his ex-wife, Jessica's angry father, his partner, an attractive woman he met just before the kidnapping, and the hotel management, becomes quite a challenge as Alan sorts through the available clues - hoping to discover a way to bring his daughter back alive.BERMUDA GRASS is a very well written, engrossing novel. The characterizations are effective, giving the story a compelling sense of reality. The "golf" environment is exploited just enough to capture the reader's interest, but will not turn off those who are not involved in the game. The mystery aspect is handled masterfully. Miles presents several possibilities - teasing the reader with each one - and in the end, delivering a solid and satisfying conclusion.I highly recommend BERMUDA GRASS.
