This is a very good book by my favourite tennisplayer ever, because it was written by Martina I bought the first one. But because it's a good book I bought the other two. Very entertaining and good enough to keep me up after midnight to finish reading the book

Ex-Tennis Pro Jordan Myles is back and she's using her detective skills to investigate the death of young girl who worked for a sleazy sports agent. The action gets muddled with far too many characters (and not enough suspects) to keep track of. Then more people start turning up dead, and Jordan's life is threatened. When she finally figures out whodunit and why, there's no real surprise and the story ends very weakly.

Not even the return appearance of detective Noel Fishburn (aka "The Fish") and Martina's extensive knowledge of the pro tennis could help pull this story off!

This was the first book, by Martina Navratilova and Elizabeth Nickles that I had read and I have to say that it was hard going getting into the book but once past those first 50 pages it was an enjoyable read. Easy read, fast paced mystery with lots of action and for those of us who love tennis quite an insight into some of the behind the scene wranglings that we may never have thought of. I enjoyed it and would say that most tennis fans would.

Once again Martina and Liz serve up a droll tennis mystery. Very standard stuff. If not for her name, Martinia would never have gotten this book to press. Too bad she didn't pick up some tips from Rita Mae Brown when they were an item
