Description:
The "Manor House" in Paige Rense's novel of the same name is the world's most exclusive design magazine, a glossy publication in which architects and designers would kill for their work to appear. So when the editor in chief is found shot to death in Hollywood, the field of possible suspects reads like a "Who's Who" of the interior design world. Enter Pierpont Tree, the very handsome, very rich scion of an old-money family in Santa Barbara, and his ravishing ex-actress girlfriend, China Carlyle. These two have nothing but time and money to spend, and a spot of investigating makes for a nice break from their jet-set routine. Soon Pier and China are up to their necks in jealous assistants, covetous roommates, and ambitious designers as they piece the clues together. More than a murder mystery, Manor House is also a glimpse into the high-flying world of the super rich, where an antique desk is a bargain at $750,000 and a barbeque pit (complete with eternal flame) is a suitable memorial for a departed loved one. Readers with a mind for murder and an eye for an elegant setting will find Paige Rense's book made to order.
