Product Description
Reid Clark is a pro golfer at the top of the leader board during the PGA tour; he s also a hothead with a reputation for trouble. Reid receives a death threat right before teeing off on the final day of the Master's Tournament, and hires a P.I. to track down the perpetrator. Suspense builds throughout as Reid tries to compete in one of golf s most prestigious contests...and woo the woman he loves...while dodging death at every turn. For golfers, and mystery lovers in general, Sudden Death will score big.

Sudden Death by Dianne M. Sheen (Danbury CT USA)

It was awesome! I am not a sports nut but it had me from the first chapter. It felt like I was there with them at every turn. If you are a James Patterson fan then you will love Michael Balkind. I liked it so much I bought his 2nd book Dead Ball and once again it was great! I can hardly wait for his next book. (I wish he'd write faster!) Love love love. You won't be disappointed.

The book is a good but slow read. It is not one of those page turning books. Reading the book, I got the feel that it was written by a guy who never got the girl in reality and wrote a book about his alter ego. I never connected with the main character(s) and never really came to care about them. Cyndy

I really enjoyed Sudden Death. I read it while on vacation. It's one of those books that you hate to put down and when you come to the end you wish that there were more. Excellent! I look forward to reading more of Mr. Balkind's work. J. Gamba

Dum, de Dum Dumb! by Richard Bajakian (Boynton Beach, FL)

What a stupid story. I couldnt believe that it ended like that! How does Patterson or Cussler give this any praise? There are so many holes in the logic of this "thriller" that made it impossible to find satisfying at the end. The killer uses psychological torture and techie things which dont make sense given his apparent background, education and lack of access to the star. Also the killer escapes detection by the "best security in the world" throughout the story despite not being very sophisticated. Forget also that in the end that this is about revenge and all the extra stuff the killer does along the way only makes it harder for him to get it. Balkind took a golf story and tried to make it a thriller, but he doesnt get that readers want more than a happy ending-There has to be a thread of logic in it too.

I am having difficulty getting into this story reading it on the kindle because there are extraneous line feeds in the middle of sentences that create new paragraphs, and extra spaces in the mi ddle of words. Very very annoying and irksome - not something I want to experience while reading a book. excerpt: "... Joseph, the maitre d' called. He said the hors SUDDEN DEATH d'oeuvres would be here in 15 minutes." (locations 367-377) I suggest you download a sample before you buy the book.
