![]() ![]() Our heroine is a Canadian expat and is a partner in Llanelen Spa, where she is often to be found filing nails and applying polish to the fingertips of a wide range of clients. They have proved popular with lovers of cosy crime, and on my first acquaintance with Penny I can see why. Her series of books featuring Penny Brannigan – Never Laugh… is the fifth – are set in North Wales, in the fictional market town of Llanelen. And sure enough, the foolish giggler is soon breathing his last.Įlizabeth J Duncan is a Canadian who lived in Britain for several years. I’d be surprised if the saying that inspired this book’s title is among those platitudes though. It’s a new one on me, but ‘Never Laugh as a hearse goes by – or you will be the next to die’ is quoted by a character. Written by Elizabeth J Duncan –- Mum, gran or great aunt, most families are blessed with a member who has a saying for every occasion, guaranteed to come up with such gems as ‘Look before you leap’, ‘Don’t put all your eggs in one basket’ and the frankly ridiculous ‘Never cast a clout ’til May is out’. ![]()
