Pepper just found out that she is out of a job. The company that she worked for has decided to down size. Pepper doesn't know what she is going to do with her life. Warren is Pepper's sister Felicity's boyfriend. Warren wants to propose to Felicity and asked Pepper to help him plan the best surprise for her.

Pepper jumps at the change, not only because this is her sister, but she has a lot of time on her hands. Pepper arrives at the airport to begin transforming a private plane into a time line of when Warren and Felicity's love began. Pepper takes a side trip into the ladies room. To her shock she finds a dead man in one of the stalls.

The surprise goes on without a hitch, except of course the dead body. Warren is so happy about how Pepper makes the plane into their romance that he suggests that she start a business. Warren offers to back her. Pepper wonders how an accountant can possible have that kind of money. To everyone's shock Warren is really a very rich man.

I have to say ENGAGED IN MURDER is a great book. Nancy Parra's first in a new series. Since this is the first one, I can't wait to read the next one. It has humor where you wouldn't think there would be. After all how can someone's death bring humor? I don't know how but Nancy Parra did it. Parra's description of how the main character Pepper goes about not only getting new business, but also helps solve a murder is clever and fun.

The one part I found quite funny is that Pepper didn't think her life would go on after losing her job. ENGAGED IN MURDER is a great start to a new series, and I can't wait for the next one.
