"Judy Mill's husband, Hunt, has become obsessed with networking for his business at The Oaks, a rich, snobby country club. Of course, that means that Judy has to spend time at the club too, which she hates. Things start to look up a little when Judy meets Claire Cox, the club's first single woman member. Not long after they meet, Claire is discovered dead in a sand trap on the golf course. The police ask Judy for help in the investigation, so Judy starts looking into the private lives of the club's most respected member, and she learns some shocking secrets."
