The Cold Light of Mourning

by Elizabeth J. Duncan

Penny Brannigan, Canadian ex-pat, owns the Happy Hands Nail Care shop in Llanelen, a quaint village in North Wales. Mostly, she keeps to herself, and as a result, she is devastated when her one good friend, Emma, dies.

In fact, she’s so busy mourning the loss of Emma that she has no interest in the nuptials to take place in the village soon. Wealthy Emyr Gruffydd is to marry successful Meg Wynne Thompson. Everyone’s talking about it, except Penny.

But Penny starts talking when the bride disappears. It seems that Penny was the last person to see Meg (bridal manicure, of course).

Just what did happen to Meg? And can an outsider like Penny really help the police? Read this cozy mystery and find out.
