Impossible Bliss

by Lee Sheldon

Dan Shepard, the new police chief of Carmel, California is faced with the impossible when a golfer vanishes into thin air from a sand trap. To his increasing exasperation he soon finds himself teamed with Herman de Portola Bliss, an irascible artist with no talent for painting, but an unerring eye for clues, and an even greater talent for getting into trouble. As the case grows ever more bizarre and deadly, the mismatched pair find themselves confronted with more than one corpse, a shady land deal, self-serving politicians, environmental protesters, a major golf tournament, the mob, multiple burglars, car chases, a particularly unique form of infidelity, and significant seagull droppings. To solve the impossible crime Shepard will first have to survive the man known as Impossible Bliss.

Interesting enough trick with the white ice that splatters, and the body double twin swapping for fun through life was certainly a shock, plus it is good motivation that one twin made the mistake that lead to a demise since it was wrongly assumed about a doctor on board. Some nice clues of the personality swaps but not completely fair it seems. I skipped around some parts, but it seems well written for the most part.
