Bodice of Evidence is the second in the Perfect Proposals mystery series. Pepper Pomeroy has left her corporate job, settled back in her suburban Chicago hometown and started her dream company Perfect Proposals.

Having successfully planned her sister Felicity's engagement to beau Warren, Pepper is now dress shopping with her and their mom Abigail. It had been a long nerve racking day and things only get worse when in the last shop, Bridal Dreams, Pepper stumbles upon the body of owner Eva Svetkovska.

Things at the crime scene don't add up in Pepper's eyes and despite the warnings of old pal Detective Murphy, she sets out to find Eva's killer. There are plenty of suspects including Eva's daughter Vidalia and her husband Anton, long time boutique employee Theresa and her sketchy boyfriend Thad and Vladmir, Eva's black sheep brother.

In the midst of her investigation, Pepper is also planning two dream proposals. First up is Alexander wants to propose during a sky diving jump and then there's Mary who wants to break the norm by popping the question to her long time boyfriend.

Pepper herself is trying to get over her recent nasty breakup with high school boyfriend Bobby and figuring out her newfound feelings for old friend Gage. Having decided that it's best if she moves from her apartment across the street from Bobby's favorite watering hole, Pepper also has to find a new place to call home.

A fast paced, fun mystery with a delightful cast of characters have you feeling right at home with Pepper and her friends. I'm looking forward to the next in the series, Newlywed Dead to see what exciting proposal events Pepper will plan next.
