False Premises

A Domestic Bliss Mystery #2

By: Leslie Caine

A Domestic Bliss Mystery #2 “Sparkles with charm, design lore, and a sleuth with a great mantra. Cozy fans will embrace the Domestic Bliss series.” —Carolyn Hart, Edgar Award-winning author of Letters from Home “An appealing heroine and warm, genuinely winning voice.” –Publishers Weekly “A fast, breezy read.” –The Mystery Reader “A great mystery that puts you on the edge of your chair until the end!” –Fresh Fiction “A great mystery that puts you on the edge of your chair until the end!” –Fresh Fiction Smart, talented interior designer Erin Gilbert is becoming great friends with her free-spending client, Laura Smith, whose stunning mansion is brimming with rare, expensive antiques...until she realizes the fabulous treasures she so carefully acquired for Laura have been completely replaced with fakes! When Laura's explanations sound as phony as the furniture, Erin is compelled to dig deeper into Laura’s glamorous life—the real antiques have got to be somewhere—until her investigation is interrupted by a murder! It seems Erin has revealed the same cunning con artist who all but ruined her handsome-but-bitter archrival, Steve Sullivan. Erin wants answers but Sullivan dreams of revenge; so when detectives are called in, their perfect suspect is...the charming (almost, maybe, not quite, perhaps boyfriend) Steve Sullivan himself! Now Erin must chase down the real killer before the cops drag Sullivan away in cuffs...that would put a real damper on their budding romance!

Classic American Crime Fiction of the 1920s

By: Leslie S Klinger

Classic American Crime Writing of the 1920s—including House Without a Key, The Benson Murder Case, The Tower Treasure, The Roman Hat Mystery, The Tower Treasure, and Little Caesar—offers some of the very best of that decade’s writing. Earl Derr Biggers wrote about Charlie Chan, a Chinese-American detective, at a time when racism was rampant. S. S. Van Dine invented Philo Vance, an effete, rich amateur psychologist who flourished while America danced and the stock market rose. Edwin Stratemeyer, a man of mystery himself, singlehandedly created the juvenile mystery, with the beloved Hardy Boys series. The quintessential American detective Ellery Queen leapt onto the stage, to remain popular for fifty years. W. R. Burnett, created the indelible character of Rico, the first gangster antihero. Each of the five novels included is presented in its original published form, with extensive historical and cultural annotations and illustrations added by Edgar-winning editor Leslie S. Klinger, allowing the reader to experience the story to its fullest. Klinger's detailed foreword gives an overview of the history of American crime writing from its beginnings in the early years of America to the twentieth century.

Poisoned by Gilt

By: Leslie Caine

A Domestic Bliss Mystery #6 “Witty and smart, with home decorating tips to die for!” —Sarah Graves, bestselling author of the Home Repair Is Homicide series “Fans of charming interior cozies and trips to Home Depot will appreciate this tragic twist on the challenges of eco-friendly innovations.”—Publishers Weekly About that Green-Eyed Monster It seemed like a perfect idea to promote their new business: Erin Gilbert and Steve Sullivan would hold a competition to award the builder and designer of the most earth-friendly home in Crestview, Colorado. But since when did saving the planet lead instead to extinction?!? Environmental guru, Richard Thayers was Sullivan’s architectural mentor and the judge of the contest. But now he is dead—poisoned by some supposedly nontoxic gold paint—and Sullivan is convinced that Richard’s death is no accident. Erin, normally the suspicious half of the duo, is not so sure. The one thing they both agree on? This mysterious death is murder on their budding romance... When another figure in the contest is killed, and Sullivan becomes distracted by an oversexed divorcee, Erin designs her own plan: not only to find the killer, but to uncover the true Steve Sullivan—and the schemes he’s hiding in his heart...

A Domestic Bliss Mystery #3

By: Leslie Caine

A Domestic Bliss Mystery #3 “Sparkles with charm, design lore, and a sleuth with a great mantra. Cozy fans will embrace the Domestic Bliss series.” —Carolyn Hart, Edgar Award-winning author of Letters from Home “Caine delivers another top-notch Domestic Bliss whodunit...nifty decorating tips complete the package.” –Publishers Weekly “The zany personalities and the interaction between them is the novel’s most appealing aspect...the author seldom wavers from a gripping, pulsing narrative.” –Daily Camera, Boulder “Leslie Caine once again concocts an interior decorating themed mystery that is sure to please her fans. With numerous design tips brilliantly painted through 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. Manor of Death is a designer’s dream!” –Fresh Fiction In Crestview, Colorado, homeowners are getting their houses in picture-perfect shape for the upcoming Historic Home Tour. Interior designer, Erin Gilbert is hired to renovate Francine Findley’s magnificent Victorian mansion. But from the very beginning of her job, things are totally out of control. A ghost sighting (Erin certain does not believe those rumors about the Victorian being haunted...) leads to the discovery of a hidden dead space in the attic...and the scandalous death of a beautiful young woman! Teamed with her intolerably self-assured competitor, Steve Sullivan, Erin finds herself up against the neighbors, an imaginative teen, a woman communing—supposedly—with the dead, and one very anxious client. When a second person dies, Erin suspects foul play. If she can’t uncover the killer, she might just be next!!

Holly and Homicide

By: Leslie Caine

A Domestic Bliss Mystery #7 "With her quirky cast of characters and seasonal decorating tips, this delightful holiday caper makes the perfect gift for under the Christmas tree." —Fresh Fiction It's Christmastime in sleepy, snowy Colorado, and Erin Gilbert and Steve Sullivan have a sweet holiday – and their new romance – to look forward to... The town, on the other hand, is up in arms! The beloved Goodwin Estate has been sold to enterprising out-of-towners and is getting a major makeover just in time for the holidays—putting interior designers Erin and Steve smack in the eye of the storm! The estate’s new owners have a different idea of holiday décor than the rest of the community—one that includes inflatable elves, giant Santas, and some decidedly gaudy gingerbread facades... When Erin’s blowhard ex-boyfriend shows up just in time to make Sullivan insane with jealousy, and a local building inspector is found strangled with a string of Christmas lights, Gilbert and Sullivan think that a Christmas getaway may be the safer plan... But when a bungling sheriff accuses Erin of murder and there's another ghastly killing, the only way out for Erin is to turn detective (she’s done it before!). Her new project: design an answer to a mystery with too many clues...and far too many suspects!
