When golf vlogger Morgan Reed arrives at historic Whispering Dunes Golf Club to film a course review, she expects challenging fairways and ocean breezes—not a body floating in the signature water hazard known as Neptune's Trident. Course architect Douglas Reid had been making controversial modifications to the prestigious links-style course before his untimely death, and Morgan's keen analytical eye soon spots discrepancies that others have missed. With her reputation for solving mysteries at golf courses preceding her, Morgan finds herself unofficially partnering with the methodical Sheriff Cooper and Reid's estranged wife Olivia to uncover the truth.
As Morgan navigates the exclusive world of Whispering Dunes, she discovers a web of deception involving tournament preparations, betting schemes, and course modifications that would specifically benefit certain players. Her investigation takes her from the clubhouse to the maintenance shed, from luxury cottages to the treacherous 17th hole where Reid met his fate. When Morgan's drone captures suspicious activity and her cottage is broken into, it becomes clear someone will go to great lengths to protect their secrets—and Morgan might be playing into a dangerous trap.
With the prestigious amateur tournament proceeding despite the murder investigation, Morgan must use her knowledge of golf architecture and analytics to read the subtle breaks of this case before the killer strikes again. Her dual roles as vlogger and amateur detective provide the perfect cover to observe suspects, but as she gets closer to the truth, Neptune's Trident threatens to claim another victim. Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries and golf enthusiasts alike, "Water Hazard" delivers a hole-in-one combination of atmospheric setting, clever clues, and the satisfying resolution readers have come to expect from Morgan Reed's adventures on the links.
