Product Description
Up-and-coming golfer Cassie Burdette has made it through the hell of Qualifiying School -- only to land herself in the hell of a pro-am tournament. Placed on a team with four doctors from the pharmaceutical company Meditron, she hopes she can survive their oversized egos. But when one of them turns up dead, Cassie suspects these doctors are playing a game of their own -- and now she just hopes she can survive.

Pharamaceutical companies - beware August 14, 2006
If you work in the pharma industry you will enjoy this book even more. This is the third book in the series of heroine Cassie Burdette. The character development is the best so far. It begins with a LPGA Pro Am introducing the characters and then gathers steam. Islieb did a good job with her research and is acurate. The golf channel or ESPN should do a mini-series based off of the adventures of Cassie Burdette.

A great mystery book related to the field of golf. A must mystery fan read.
 all around good books March 19, 2006
I have read all 5 of the Cassie Burdette golf mysteries. I find these books to be very relaxing and entertaining. after a stressful day at work it is nice to come home and be able to sit and read and actually enjoy the book and be able to feel what the characters in the book feel. I am looking forward to the next mystery series from Roberta, but i will also miss Cassie.

Cassie Burdette is playing in her first pro-am tournament. The group she plays with on the first day consists of four employees from Meditron Pharmaceuticals. The tension is very obvious to outsider Cassie, and is never far from the surface, even when they go out for dinner later. But when the only woman in the group turns up dead, Cassie is surprised. The police are quick to rule it a suicide. That is where all the evidence points, but Cassie doesn't believe it for a second. What really happened to this woman? And will investigating this murder hamper Cassie's playing in the tournament? Meanwhile, her love life, or lack there of, is also hitting some major road blocks.This series intrigues me because of the inside look at the LPGA. The golf scenes are written well, and I keep coming back to find out just how well rookie Cassie will play. Unfortunately, the mystery is not as well developed. Frankly, I didn't believe Cassie's reasons for investigating this death. Amateur sleuths need a compelling reason to be involved, and this book lacks that. Second, the ending felt rushed and not as developed as most of the books I like. However, I've really grown to care about Cassie and her friends Joe and Laura. The golf and the characters are interesting enough to bring me back for a third round. Hopefully, the mystery itself will be better polished next time around.

Roberta Isleib's spirited, appealing heroine,Cassandra Burdette, is back on the case in A Buried Lie. While participating in a professional/amateur golf tournament, Cassie investigates the death of one of the amateurs who she teamed up with. The suspense is unrelenting, the characters well-drawn, the dialogue crisp, and the golf background authentic. The book was a pleasure to read and a real page-turner. I couldn't put it down, until the last page. And I wanted more! I eagerly anticipate Ms. Isleib's next Cassandra Burdette mystery.
