Reviews
"Although Miles has written many historical mysteries set in varying centuries (under the pen names Edward Marston and Conrad Allen), Bermuda Grass proves that he is as at home in the modern day as in previous eras. He weaves the game of golf into the plot seamlessly, making it a fascinating subject even if, like this reviewer, you're a confirmed couch potato. He tosses several balls (metaphoric, not golf) into the air and keeps them going with rapid-fire pace. Much of this rapid fire comes from the varied personalities of the different characters and how they interact. Much of the tension in this fast-paced page-turner occurs because the person whom Alan least wants to see, his ex-wife, turns out to be his staunchest ally."-- Drood Review "Miles has something for everybody in this delicious entertainment: a surprise villain, violent fisticuffs, an excellent golf game, lovely women, some sex, fine detective work and a stunning climax." -- Publisher's Weekly "Mystery-reading golfers will be pleased to see Saxton back in action." --Bill Ott for Booklist , "Although Miles has written many historical mysteries set in varying centuries (under the pen names Edward Marston and Conrad Allen), Bermuda Grass proves that he is as at home in the modern day as in previous eras.

He's a smart and spirited leading man, the resentful son of a career cop who manages to make just enough errors in his investigation to be credible, but not enough to bring about a disaster. The story's twists and turns keep you guessing at who's behind all the nefarious doings, and it requires no foreknowledge of or affinity for golf to recognize this book's charms."--January Magazine, "Miles has something for everybody in this delicious entertainment: a surprise villain, violent fisticuffs, an excellent golf game, lovely women, some sex, fine detective work and a stunning climax."--Publishers Weekly, "Keith Miles, whose novels written as Edward Marston and Conrad Allen, are some of the best aces around, provides the audience with a powerful sports mystery that flies like an eagle. The story line is face-paced, but it is the cast that makes the tale different as they bring humor to the plot. After a decade of absence, Alan proves he is no duffer as he struggles with what he perceives is the elitist obnoxious behavior of his ex-wife and Jessica, who also tosses in a sand trap of flirting. His rescue efforts hook the reader, as Bermuda Grass is an above par round of enjoyment."--Midwest Book Review
