Death on the Green by Catie Murphy

Rating: WARTY!

Doubtlessly another condescending look at the "Oirish." Even the title has 'green' in it. Get it? Orange you glad? Despite her name, the author isn't Irish. She was born in Arkansas, USA which is about as far from Irish as you can get. The plot has it that: "When a golfer's body is discovered in the pond of an Irish clubhouse, army veteran and Dublin limo driver Megan Malone is on the case. Her client, golfer Martin Walsh, is the prime suspect... but his alibi is watertight. Can Megan find a killer on the loose?" Are the Irish police so truly awful that a solution is up to a limo driver who has no training whatsoever in solving crimes? Why doesn't she just jeep her meddling fingers out of it and let the police do their job? Whether her client's alibi is watertight or not, she doesn't need to do shit.
