Reviews for Amen Corner
6 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Captivating from start to finish, Amen Corner takes you inside the ropes and into the private sanctions of the Augusta National membership and its golf tournament in progress. Revengeful murders keeps pace as the reader works to determine who will win the game of wits and stamina. Rick Shefchik weaves golf particulars, scenery, romance, and police work into this action-packed, fast pace first novel. Deceptively written with keen insight into the inner workings of the tournament host, its members, sports news reporting and politics. I'm looking forward to sequels featuring Sam Skarda, police detective, budding romance with Caroline Rockingham, in another PGA golf tour event.
