The key to any good piece of noir is nuance and pace, and with the crime drama, Dying for A Change, author Sean Reynolds has merged these elements with a sharp creative edge to develop a memorable piece of black fiction.
Set in 1960s Chicago, Dying for A Change tells the elaborate story of Chan, a hustling lesbian detective and her best friend, a drag queen, Henrietta Wild Cherry, as they try to solve the murder of a famous white drag queen from north Chicago.
Bolstered by her sharp and witty writing, Reynolds has crafted a rich and captivating period piece that’s drenched in nuanced detail. With realistic characters that jump off the page and flow with ease through the reader’s mind, Dying for A Change (www.booksbyseanreynolds.com) has every bit of entertainment and charm needed to make a great murder mystery. –nicholas robinson
