Death, deception, and decorating are three words that
usually don't go together unless your name just happens to
be Erin Gilbert, interior decorator extraordinaire. When
a ghost suddenly appears on the widow walk of her latest
client's home, Erin does a double take and starts to
question whether her mind is playing tricks on her. No
one mentioned a ghost as part of this project. Color
schemes and paint charts can be difficult enough, but
handling a ghost is a whole other story! Is she getting
paid overtime for this?
As if this job were not complicated enough, add the hot
and sexy interior designer, Steve Sullivan, to the mix and
she definitely has a mess on her palette. How is she
supposed to concentrate on the business at hand when she
is more concerned about testing her nemesis's decorating
skills and perhaps his prowess in the bedroom? Nothing
ever turns out as easy as it is suppose to be!
When a neighbor suddenly turns up murdered, Erin must
shift gears into overdrive and change hats from decorator
to amateur sleuth. With Sullivan at her side, together
they must take on the neighborhood and become the dynamic
duo. Who would have thought that chasing a ghost and
hunting down a murderer would be added to the job
description for an interior designer? Luckily for Erin,
she has Sullivan willing to help sketch this plan because
she is most certainly going to need all the help she can
get!
In the third book of The Domestic Bliss Mystery series,
Leslie Caine once again concocts an interior decorating
themed mystery that is sure to please her fans. With
numerous design tips brilliantly painted throughout the
canvas, Caine's storyline is smooth as silk as she
expertly designs the perfect murder. The sexual tension
between Erin and Sullivan keeps the reader turning the
pages and the exquisite backdrop descriptions keep the
interior decorator in us all wanting for more. MANOR OF
DEATH is a designer's dream!
Erin Gilbert is paid to bring spaces to new life–not to
uncover murder. But from the beginning of her job in a
Victorian manor, things are totally out of control. It
starts with the sighting of a ghost and leads to the
discovery of a decades-old secret, a hidden dead space in
the attic, and the shocking death of a beautiful young
woman. Teamed with her insufferably self-confident
competitor, Steve Sullivan, Erin finds herself up against
the neighbors, a troubled teen, a woman communing with the
dead, and one very unnerved client. The more Erin works on
the house, the more manners of death she seems to find
until, like peeling off layers of wallpaper,
she suddenly sees it revealed all too clearly: the perfect
blueprint for murder…
