Kathleen Delaney knows first hand what change means to a small town, but, in her twenty year career as a real estate broker, has yet to stumble across a dead body anyplace other than in the pages of a book. She has published several short stories, and has won an award for her short fiction. This is her first novel.
Ellie McKenzie is newly certified as a real estate agent and newly settled back into her old hometown but selling houses proves a messy business when she discovers a dead body in the first one she tries to show. Hank Sawyer was a big-time contractor and a proposed discount store's biggest champion, and Ellie must determine whether his death relates to the land deal or if there were more personal reasons for his murder in Kathleen Delaney's Dying for a Change.

New to the real estate profession, Ellen McKenzie discovers a dead body in the first house she plans to show. Not only does the corpse spoil her sale, it also throws the people she works for under suspicion. The victim, Hank Sawyer, had partnered with Ellen's boss and others in a controversial and potentially lucrative land deal; Sawyer also had been involved in several recent ruckuses and had been known for his wandering hands. Taking the murder personally, Ellen begins sleuthing in her small California hometown, making good use of gossiping acquaintances. Ellen is an appealing heroine, and her first adventure is a good choice for popular mystery collections.
