Interior decorator Erin Gilbert has been hired by aging
widow Helen Walker's niece and nephew to "declutter"
Helen's home. Having fallen in love with the charming
bungalow from the outside, Erin is eager to get to work on
the inside. She should have known what was coming when her
new clients meet her in the garage -- there's so much
clutter in the home that Helen has decided to live in her
garage rather than get rid of any of her precious keepsakes!
When Helen finally relents to Erin working on her home, she
takes Erin on the grand tour through mazes of newspapers
and years of collectables. Fortunately, Erin sees the
potential in the charming home and convinces Helen to work
with her. It's then that Helen reveals a method to her
madness. She's convinced a killer, who has struck twice, is
now stalking her! Both instances were declared unfortunate
accidents, and no one takes seriously Helen's statements --
until more people start turning up dead and Helen becomes a
suspect. What is it in Helen's cache of clutter that
someone is willing to kill for?
KILLED BY CLUTTER, Leslie Caine's latest in her
Domestic Bliss series, is a totally fabulous read!
Chockfull of charming supporting characters and a savvy
interior designer with a knack for solving mysteries,
readers will enjoy this creatively twisting story. Helen
Walker is a hoot with her crazy thought processes that
actually mean something, and there are plenty of red
herrings to keep the reader guessing to the very end.
At first glance, decorator Erin Gilbert fell in love with
the charming little bungalow on a quiet street in
Crestview, Colorado. Until she stepped inside. There,
eccentric widow Helen Walker has created a maze of bric-a-
brac, papers, and just plain junk that she won’t throw out.
Even worse: two bizarre deaths have convinced Helen she is
being stalked by a serial killer–and that any one of her
nosy friends and neighbors might be to blame.
Erin has been hired to bring the home back to life–and
she’s not going to back down, even when her insufferable,
irresistible competitor, Steve Sullivan, barges in. But it
doesn’t take long for Erin to realize that there is a
method to her client’s madness. A murderer does haunt this
makeover. And somewhere in the clutter is at least one
thing to die for.
