Publisher's Summary

While playing an erratic round of golf, Bobby  Jones slices his ball over the edge of a cliff. His ball is lost, but  on the rocks below he finds the crumpled body of a dying man. The man  opens his eyes and with his last breath says, "Why didn't they ask  Evans?"

Haunted by those words, Bobby and his vivacious  companion, Frankie, set out to solve a mystery that will bring them into  mortal danger...

We are in a groove now

I have absolutely nothing insightful to say here.   It isn't that I am not enjoying the stories or don't like Christie's writing; I enjoy the stories very much. It is more like I don't have the patience for an in-depth analysis of every book I read, especially when I am reading for the sheer pleasure of escaping into another world. The truth is that sometimes I have nothing to say about a book that hasn't already been said. I'm happy to accept that truth and move on, unperturbed.

But, before I go, I just want to say, "Way to go, Aggie!" for naming the inept golfer after the most successful amateur golfer ever to compete at national and international levels, Robert Tyre Jones, Jr., aka Bobby Jones (competitive years 1923-1930). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Jones_(golfer)

 

Three and a half stars. Keeps you guessing.
