A Lee Ofsted mystery Lee Ofsted and Graham Sheldon, her ex-cop fianc?, have decided to take advantage of the glorious setting of the historic Royal Mauna Kea Golf and Country Club to have a quiet wedding ceremony. But from the start things go awry, partly on account of the influx of treasure hunters determined to find the club's most famous lost possession, the Cumberland Cup, commissioned from the great Louis Comfort Tiffany in 1908. Then real disaster strikes. During the Centennial Ball, Hamish Wyndham, the ancient and irascible chairman of the club's board of directors, is discovered bludgeoned to death. When the club pro, Wally Crawford, is targeted by the police as the most likely suspect, Lee is dragged into the maelstrom. And it doesn't take her long to turn up a host of suspects, motives, and simmering resentments . . .

From Booklist:
All professional golfer Lee Ofsted wants to do when she arrives in Hawaii is fulfill her duties as the celebrity attraction at the Mauna Kea Golf Club's centennial and then relax until her impending marriage to security consultant Graham Sheldon. But shortly after she arrives, the body of Mauna Kea's oldest member, Hamish Wyndham, is found in the club's billiards room. Inevitably, Lee, whose propensity for snooping has led her into several murder investigations, embarks on a bit of amateur detecting, with the help of her friend and fellow snoop Peg. The pair soon learns that there were plenty of people who had good reason to hate Wyndham. Also figuring into the murder could be a spooky local legend, a long-lost trophy designed by Louis Tiffany, a secret passage or two, and some truly bizarre initiation rituals at the Mauna Kea. Effortless writing, humorous banter, intriguing characters, and a well-formed plot make the Elkinses' latest a solid addition to most mystery collections. Emily Melton
