Par for the Course is a delightful read, perfect for the beach or the lake, or just a weekend escape! Heroine Piper's quips are laugh out loud funny, but under the veneer of this bubble-headed socialite is the heart of a savvy, caring woman. She may use her sarcastic wit to outdo those snobby "ladies who golf," but underneath it all, she just wants to fit in. Piper's flirtations with hunky Rusty steam things up a bit, and their amateur sleuthing has you urging them to pay attention to the clues!!!! A cast of quirky characters and their antics leave the reader wanting a sequel to this story. Great romantic suspense debut for author Jen Vido.

This book is an entertaining whodunit that you simply can't put down until the very last word! On "par" with Sue Grafton and JoAnn Fluke, Ms. Vido's book would make a wonderful vacation read. I thoroughly enjoyed Piper's escapades and trying to figure out who the villain was...keeps you guessing until the very end!

This book was just what I needed. It is a great all around read from Jennifer Vido!

Piper O'Donnell is implicated in murder but still holds herself together and struts her stuff. She isn't much of a golfer... but the conversations take take place on the course make you keep reading. I found myself laughing at the characters too. Great job Jenifer Vido. Looking forward to the next adventure with your amusing & idiosyncratic character!

My wonderful Aunt Jen wrote this amazing book. Chapter after chapter I read on my kindle hour after hour. This is an AMAZING book and i would recommend it to ANYONE.

Great book by first-time author Jennifer Vido! It had a little bit of everything -- romance, comedy, mystery and humor as you try to figure out who did the murder(s). And who wouldn't want a hunk like Rusty in their lives? Kept me guessing til the very end, and I didn't see it coming!
