MANOR OF DEATH
Leslie Caine

Mystery | Mystery Woman Sleuth | Suspense

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!

SUMMARY

Erin Gilbert is paid to bring spaces to new lifeโ€“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 murderโ€ฆ
