Erin Gilbert and her business partner Steve Sullivan are
back in action as one of the most successful interior
design firms in Crestview, Colorado. This time, they have
jumped on the environmental bandwagon as part of an earth-
friendly design contest that together they hope to win. The
competition is fierce as natural fibers are put to the test
in hopes of creating the ultimate green home that will
dazzle even the most skeptical of critics.
As luck would have it, Steve's former professor and
lifelong mentor is selected as one of the three esteemed
judges for the contest's panel. Despite his teacher's
supposed expertise in the field, Erin has her doubts and
starts to question Steve's lack of judgment which
undoubtedly causes friction between the pair. While Erin
and Steve try their best to work out their differences, the
professor winds up mistakenly poisoning himself right
before their very eyes.
On a personal mission to bring the killer to justice, Steve
starts pointing fingers despite Erin's obvious objections
to his plight. With tension mounting, Steve's sudden
interest in an attractive divorcée causes ripples in the
designing duos on-again, off-again romance. Not willing to
play second fiddle, Erin chooses to don her detective hat
in hopes of putting the case to rest in order to get her
long-overdue love life back on track.
With the competition quickly coming to a head, Erin and
Steve scramble to put the finishing touches on the design
but are stopped dead in their tracks by a second murder
which happens right under their noses. Is this the end for
Crestview's golden design team? Or will they be able to
come together to draw up a plan to get themselves out of
this mess?
POISONED BY GILT is the sixth book in Leslie Caine's
highly popular A Domestic Bliss Mystery series. With each
installment, Caine devises the most charmingly written
mystery filled with choice interior design morsels that
make reading her books an absolute delight.
To the newly formed design
team of Steve Sullivan and Erin Gilbert, it seemed like a
great idea: a competition to design and build the most
earth-friendly home in Crestview, Colorado. But who would
have dreamed that someone’s idea of saving the planet might
include murder?
Environmental guru Richard Thayers
was Steve Sullivan’s architectural mentor and the judge of
the contest. Now he is dead—poisoned by some supposedly
nontoxic gold paint. Sullivan is certain that Richard’s
demise was no accident, but Gilbert’s not so sure. One
thing’s clear, though: the mysterious death is quickly
poisoning their burgeoning romantic relationship. Suddenly,
when another figure in the contest is killed and Sullivan
becomes distracted by an attractive divorcee, Erin goes on a
mission: not only to find the killer, but to expose the true
Steve Sullivan—and the designs he’s hiding in his heart….
