Hot Property by Sarah O'Brien Coronet £6.99 pb

From the Echo, first published Friday 17th Oct 2003.

Estate agent/auctioneer Ellen Grace was having a bad morning. Her car blew up on the way to work, her ex has become her new boss and during their first valuation of the day they find a dead body in the sitting room!

This is the opening chapter of a rather funny and fast-paced book set in Limerick, Ireland with a great collection of characters.

It all comes to a head when the Limerick heavies start to have a mini "turf war" in which Ellen and her brother are caught up.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book which will be published on November 3.
