Join the North Providence Mystery Book Club on Tuesday May
7, 2019. We will be discussing The Cold Light of Mourning by Elizabeth
J. Duncan. This is the first book featuring Penny Brannigan, a Canadian
expatriate, who years earlier while hiking through the Welsh countryside, fell
in love with the area and stayed. The book begins with her mourning the death
of her closest friend. She then provides manicures for members of a wedding
party. When the bride goes missing and Penny notices something odd at her
friend’s funeral, she gets involved with the investigation.
The description from the author’s website is “The picturesque
North Wales market town of Llanelen is shocked when Meg Wynne Thompson, a
self-made beauty who has turned out to be something of an unpopular bride, goes
missing on her wedding day—and turns up dead.
The last person believed to have seen Meg alive is local
manicurist Penny Brannigan, who vows to find the killer. Seems that several
people—including those on the guest list—had reasons to wish Meg dead. But when
the trail leads Penny to the groom, a red-hot secret threatens to shake the
small town to its very core…”
We will be meeting in
the Second Floor Meeting Room at 7:00 pm.
