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 wonβt throw out.
Even worse: two bizarre deaths have convinced Helen she is
being stalked by a serial killerβand that any one of her
nosy friends and neighbors might be to blame.
Erin has been hired to bring the home back to lifeβand
sheβs not going to back down, even when her insufferable,
irresistible competitor, Steve Sullivan, barges in. But it
doesnβt take long for Erin to realize that there is a
method to her clientβs madness. A murderer does haunt this
makeover. And somewhere in the clutter is at least one
thing to die for.
