As easy as murder

the long version

A tranquil, Spanish village by the sea is the perfect place for Primavera Blackstone to raise her ten-year-old, Tom, son of the late lamented Oz, especially when they are joined by his nephew, tyro professional golfer Jonny Sinclair. But when her best friend Shirley introduces her new man, Patterson Cowling, he seems to be a trouble magnet. A casual thief tries to pick his pocket and is found a few days later with his face blown off. Does Patterson Cowling have a past to protect? As the body count rises, and Primavera becomes den mother to an extended golfing family, homicide becomes par for the course, and hazards lie in wait for everyone. Can she save the day, or is the game just too rough?
