Murder on the Croquet Lawn: A Work of Fiction is composed of seven sections: The Deadness Board, The Fatal Mallet, Croak, eh?, The Dead Hammer, Blue-Red-Black-Yellow, The Four Ball Break and Killer Croquet. The story takes place near Palm Springs at a country club that has an active croquet club. There are six murders on this site but only three of the murderers are apprehended. If you have pondered retiring and moving to the desert or if you have curiosity about competitive croquet (which is not the children's back-yard nine wicket game) you will enjoy meeting Charley and Chloe and their friends as they play killer croquet....literally.
