In for a Penny by Maggie Toussaint

This book introduces us to Cleopatra Jones, an accountant, who stumbles across a dead body on the golf course. Police identify Cleo's best friend, Jonette Moore, as the number one suspect. It soon becomes apparent that if the crime is to be solved, it will be up to Cleo to do so. While billed as a romantic suspense, I found it light on both counts. Still it was a fine first book in a cozy mystery series. 216 pages.
