Aaron Elkins wrote five Lee Ofsted books between 1989 and 2005. The series starts with A Wicked Slice and continues through Rotten Lies, Nasty Breaks, and Where Have All the Birdies Gone? before wrapping up with On the Fringe. The titles suggest a golf-themed setting, with each book playing off the sport’s terminology.
There is a noticeable gap in the publication timeline. The first three books came out fairly close together between 1989 and 1997, but then seven years passed before Where Have All the Birdies Gone? appeared in 2004. On the Fringe followed quickly in 2005. Readers who want the full picture of Lee Ofsted’s story should start with A Wicked Slice and work through the series in order.
