Acerca de esta escucha
Aaron Elkins, the author of the Edgar-winning Old Bones, teamed up with his wife, Charlotte, to fashion this lighthearted mystery - a fictional look at the less glamorous side of a golf tour.
In this first Lee Ofsted mystery, Lee is a "rabbit" golfer in the Pacific-Western Women's Pro-Am. She made it into the tournament by the skin of her teeth and suddenly she can't keep her long drives from slicing - veering sharply to the right. She is hitting the ball perfectly and it simply isn't going where it is supposed to. And if Lee can't get rid of this slice quickly, all the scraping and saving to enter the tournament and stay in it, all the Big Macs and cheap motels, will be for nothing. Then Lee discovers the body of the tour's star at the bottom of the course lake, and her own problems with golf techniques pale in comparison. Enter Lieutenant Graham Sheldon. He's charming, handsome, and determined to capture the killer - as well as Lee's heart. But the murder has triggered buried anger and petty jealousies among the players. Lee finds out just what wicked means are causing her drives to slice. And it looks like the murderer has barely begun to score....

Historia
For Bryan Bennett, designing hostage negotiation programs is the perfect job - as long as he doesn’t deal directly with kidnappers or their victims. Intense nightmares of his own abduction and imprisonment as a small boy still plague him thirty-some years later, and claustrophobia prevents him from attempting to travel. So when Bryan’s boss asks him to fly to Reykjavik to teach his corporate-level kidnapping and extortion seminar, he initially refuses. But a CEO has specifically requested Bryan - or no one else. Finally Bryan relents.

Historia
When anthropology professor Gideon Oliver is offered a teaching fellowship at US military bases in Germany, Sicily, Spain, and Holland, he wastes no time accepting. On his first night, he is forced to fend off two desperate, black-clad men who have invaded his Heidelberg hotel room with intent to kill. And then there are a few trivial details that the recruiting agency forgot to mention - such as the fact that the two previous holders of the fellowship both met with mysterious ends.

Historia
In April 1945, The Nazis, reeling and near defeat, frantically work to hide the huge store of art treasures that Hitler has looted from Europe. Truck convoys loaded with the cultural wealth of the Western world pour in an unending stream into the compound of the vast Altaussee salt mine high in the Austrian Alps. But with the Allies closing in, the vaunted efficiency of the Nazis has broken down. At Altaussee, all is tumult and confusion.

But things quickly get out of hand when Chris's patrician, fastidious boss, after smelling a forgery in the lot, turns up dead the very next day - on the steps of a dismal Frankfurt brothel, of all places.

Historia
Art curator Val Caruso is not a happy camper. His promotion has just been nixed, his divorce has become final, and he’s dug himself into a nice little rut for his fortieth birthday. The uplift? A trip to Milan to help Holocaust survivor Sol Bezzecca recover a pair of cherished sketches by Renoir. They’d once been given to Sol’s family by the artist, looted by the Italian Fascist militia, and now after decades in hiding have turned up for auction. It’s Val’s job to get them back. Unfortunately, his Italian adventure takes a dangerous turn when he becomes trapped in an intricate web.

Nate knelt beside the dead girl. This wasn't his first homicide, it wasn't even the first dead prostitute he'd investigated. It wasn't the first strangling death he'd been assigned to. But this one bothered him. Maybe it was her youth; she appeared to be in her early twenties. Maybe it was her looks, as death had yet to rob her of her beauty. Maybe she reminded him of his own daughter, Lizzie, who was only a few years younger. Maybe it was something else entirely.

Reseñas editoriales
Sure there's a lot pressure, what with this being Lee Ofsted's first real golf tournament. And especially when she thinks of all the sacrifices she's made to get here, but still Lee can't understand why all of a sudden she can't hit a golf ball without slicing it. In Aaron and Charlotte Elkins' A Wicked Slice, Lee's errant golf shot, however, is only the beginning of the tournament's troubles. The intensity takes a sudden upturn when the tour's best golfer goes missing, and ignites a mess of anger and jealousy amongst the other golfers. Performed by the engaging veteran Julia Farhat, A Wicked Slice is a thrilling and fun mystery with just the right dose of romance.

Charlotte & Aaron Golf Mysteries are Delightful
I'd previously read "Nasty Breaks" (book 3 in the series) and enjoyed it. This is the first of the series and it's delicious. Lee Ofsted is a golfer who has borrowed money to follow her dream of becoming a professional. She stays in cheap motels and eats at McDonalds to stretch her short resources. She occasionally catches rides to tournaments (for which she has to qualify) from Kate, a well-known star. Lee is a "celebrity" that club members pay to play with in the tournament while she tries to qualify for the money game. Lee has a bad day -- she keeps slicing her shots. Things go from bad to worse when she finds Kate's body in a water hazard. And the next day she discovers her slice is caused by someone's having replaced her club with another (she didn't notice at first because her clubs and Kate's are the same brand -- because hers are Kate's old clubs. Kate got new to correct a problem with her swing and since Lee didn't have that problem Kate's club is causing her slice. Then Kate realizes the dark on the end of the club is not mud but blood -- she has found the murder weapon.
Lee is sweet and almost too innocent for to be a grown up. Luckily she has two allies: Graham Sheldon, a smart, protective homicide detective, and Peg, a cynical business woman and amateur on Lee's golf team who becomes her co-investigator. .
I like this series WAY more than Alix London one!!!

Old Fashioned (60’s)
This reminds me of a cross between Magnum PI and John Wayne. The female star is outgoing, daring, and sexy. (spoiler alert)
But she is only marginally competent at investigating, folds in the crunch, and then sleeps with the heroic male star. That’s not like the military women I knew.
Equally bad is how the hero compromises the investigation by being romantically involved with a suspect. In real life he would have been suspended.
Only great narration save it.

UGH...
illogical, unrealistic, cliched, and one of Julie Farhat's worst performances using a whiny nasal twang that was insufferable. Only the subject matter kept me listening to the halfway point and got this selection rated at two stars; don't waste the credit or the time.
