Pepper Pomeroy is to be Maid of Honor at her sister,
Felecity's wedding in three months. Today is the day
Pepper, Felecity and their mom, are shopping for the
perfect wedding dress. Piece of cake...or is it? Tired
and
discouraged after three uneventful tries at three bridal
boutiques, it is time to regroup, have a gooey chocolate
pastry and an iced coffee and then go on to the last
appointment at Bridal Dreams.
Heading to their last stop of the day, Pepper calls the
shop
to tell them they are running late but no one answers the
phone. Strange. Arriving at the shop, no one is there
and
when Pepper goes out the back door thinking the clerk is
having a smoke, she finds a body, stabbed and dead. It is
the owner of the shop. The police arrive and the search
begins to find the murderer, and Pepper becomes involved
in
the investigation.
Pepper recently called it quits with Bobby, after five
wasted years in a going nowhere relationship. She has
begun
dating Gage, a handsome, friend of Bobby, who has known
Pepper since high school, and this relationship is sweet
and
getting serious.
Pepper has started a new business Perfect Proposals and
several of her contracts were really creative and full of
imagination. Using the theme of CASABLANCA at the Music
Box
Theater was delightful and ended with a happy couple,
family
and friends. A parachute jump into the fields into the
arms of family and friends holding cue cards, followed by
luncheon and dancing in a big tent was joyful and a
successful and Perfect Proposal. Her business is
definitely
taking off!
Ms. Parra has written a funny, romantic plot with a twist
of
a mystery with zany characters who added an extra bit of
zip. In the end the mystery is solved, the killer is
apprehended, Felicity finds her perfect dres, and so does
Pepper and their mom. BODICE OF EVIDENCE is a treat for
readers. Time for a sequel, perhaps?
The author of ENGAGED IN MURDER returns with her second Perfect Proposals Mystery. This time Pepper Pomeroy discovers that shopping for the dream wedding dress can be a nightmare…
Pepper’s new wedding proposal planning business, Perfect Proposals, seems like a perfect fit. If only shopping for her sister Felicity’s bridal gown could be so simple.
After a long day of lace, tulle, and tears, Pepper, Felicity, and their mother pull it together to try one last bridal boutique. Maybe they’ll be surprised. And indeed they are—when they enter a deserted shop and soon discover the owner of the boutique slain in the alley out back.
Distressed by their proximity to the crime, Pepper vows to unveil the killer. As difficult as it is to draw a pattern from the clues, it’s still easier than finding Felicity’s perfect wedding gown. But as the killer begins to feel hemmed in, Pepper may be the one brought to her knees…
