Product Description
With 20 years of inside-the-ropes golf experience, Jim Moriarty, renders in his first novel a heart-thumping thriller that combines a look behind the scenes at professional golf with a murder mystery sure to please any who-dunnit lover. From murder in Augusta, to death in peaceful Hilton Head, to a frenzied climax at the cradle of American golf, Pinehurst, Open Season is a riveting page-turner that will keep you up all night as you follow the trail of deceit and meet a lunatic eye-to-eye, all while golf's finest players pursue its greatest titles. "Golf has been murdering me for more than fifty years, on the course and at the typing machine, so it's time it murders other people, as in Jim Moriarty's fascinating novel. You don't have to be a golfer, or a murderer, to enjoy this book." Dan Jenkins, author/sportswriter

 Fun, thrilling and filled with golf insight September 26, 2006
I found this book to be a fun, exciting, thriller which gives us a view into the cogs of the professional golf wheel that only an insider would be able to give. Moriarty has obviously been an insider to the golf world for some time now. I'm not even a golf fan and I found it fascinating. It's an exciting murder mystery that keeps your attention the entire time. The perfect book for a plane ride, beach chair, or that golfer fanatic.
 Promising Start - Lousy Finish April 12, 2006
Somewhere around the middle of this book it reads as though someone else finished it, rather than the person that wrote the first part of it.
The result is not a welcome one.
What starts out as an interesting story with a lot of insights into the goings on with the PGA Tour, The Masters and the US Open turns into a poorly plotted jumble of a story in which the characters lose their reality, the story loses it's focus and the reader loses interest. That's not a winning trifecta and this book is a huge disappointment.
 Ripping good yarn September 1, 2005
Though I am neither a golfer nor a photographer, I enjoyed this book and found it almost impossible to put down. It's a combination love story and murder mystery, set against a fascinating backdrop of the PGA touring circuit. The lead character, Nick Oliver, is an engaging and 'real' human being, and the story moves along briskly. A great vacation read, or a book to take your mind off whatever's worrying you.
