Killed by Clutter by Leslie Caine (2007, Paperback)

What's not to love about a mystery where both the heroine and the villain are clued into eBay?

When it comes to funny-punny titles, Leslie Caine has got it goin' on: "Killed By Clutter" is the 4th entry in her hilariously cozy Domestic Bliss series. If you liked "Death By Inferior Design", "False Premises", and/or "Manor of Death", you'll enjoy the ongoing antics of romantically challenged rival designers Erin Gilbert and Steve Sullivan in this amusing tale of a murderous makeover -- and if this is your fatal first encounter, then you've got several more treats in store.

Whether you read "Killed By Clutter" for the design tips or just to find out whodunit, you are sure to enjoy a cozy ride plus quite a few laughs along the way.

Erin is hired to declutter a house in less than 12 hours. She's the homeowner's confidante, and rushes to her side at all hours of the day and night, delving into family matters that are none of her business! She puts her job on the line, as well as her partner, Steve's, without thinking, and then defends herself when there really is no defense for what she has done. The fact that Steve would even want to partner up with someone who has no concern for him and his business was completely unbelievable. I tried to like this book. I root for new cozies all the time, but my cheering section gave out in exasperation before the middle of the book. Erin won't let you warm up to her, no more than you can warm up to a doormat. Pass this one by and save some money.
