Fans of Agatha Christie, Tony Hillerman and even TV's Patrick Jame will enjoy reading about the adventures of unlikely detective Realtor Reagan McHenry who uses keen observation, flashes of insight, and sometimes stubborn tenacity to solve murders.
The Death Contingency introduces the character who works in the beach community of Santa Cruz. Her job puts her in the midst of mystery and even murder when a seller who disappears before signing a grant deed turns up dead. She's aided in her sleuthing by her husband, Tom, a computer programmer turned real estate broker, and reluctantly by her friend Dave, a cop confined to desk duty after losing an eye in a shootout.
Dave wishes Regan would stop meddling and leave crime solving to the police, and she'd like to, but she's convinced the the police are looking at the wrong person for murder. To catch the killer, she has to unravel the secrets of the murder victim's past to figure out why he had to die.
