About the Book

The residents of Llanelen are brimming with excitement. Antiques Cymru, a regional take on the popular national TV show, is coming to the Welsh town and people are flocking from miles around, hoping their attic treasures turn out to be worth a fortune. On the day of filming, quiet local sheep farmer Haydn Williams brings a generations-old long-case clock for evaluation, while the woman he's always admired from afar, Catrin Bellis, turns up with a cherished handmade quilt. Will either hear surprising good news about the value of their family heirlooms? By the end of the day, Catrin turns up dead, her quilt missing. Who could have wanted this shy, quiet woman - who had been overshadowed by her parents for her whole life - dead? Delving into Catrin's past, spa owner and amateur sleuth Penny Brannigan is surprised to discover that Catrin had at least one enemy. And as Penny's romantic life heats up with a new love interest, she realizes that a mysterious document hidden in Haydn's clock could hold the key to a long-forgotten secret and a present-day murder. Elizabeth J. Duncan's Murder on the Hour is a light-hearted traditional mystery featuring a charming heroine set in an enchanting Welsh town.

Review :
"The lush landscape of Wales is lovingly described along with details of art, artists, and antiques in this mystery populated with quirky characters set in a charming village. Share with readers who enjoy Jane K. Cleland's Josie Prescott cozies with their similar antiques frame."--Booklist "Fans of small-town cozies will find a lot to like."--Publishers Weekly "In the seventh series outing (after Slated for Death), the vibrant characters of Llanelen are in fine fettle."--Library Journal "Appealing... Information about appraisals and local color enhance the story's charm."--Kirkus Reviews "Everything clicks like expertly crafted clockwork in Duncan's latest mystery, perhaps her shiniest "Penny" to-date. It's time for a Welsh Rarebit, so praise be and pass the tea."--Book Review by David Marshall James Praise for the Penny Brannigan Mystery Series: "This fifth entry in a winning series...is a pleasing update of the 'body in the library' standard. In the time-honored tradition of village cozies, Duncan provides structure, subtle clues, rampant gossip, and a satisfying conclusion." --Library Journal (starred review) on Never Laugh as a Hearse Goes By "Clever and chilling, 'Never Laugh as a Hearse Goes By' includes a storied plot device--a body in the library--as well as well-fashioned characters and interesting settings. Duncan, who teaches at a Toronto college, spends several weeks each year in Wales, and those trips pay off handsomely in her latest novel." --Richmond-Times Dispatch on Never Laugh as a Hearse Goes By "Multiple plotlines, a sympathetic main character, and its lovingly described Welsh setting add to the appeal of this satisfying cozy." --Booklist on Never Laugh as a Hearse Goes By "Like the earlier books, this one fits somewhere between traditional and cozy. Or is that redundant? Whatever style Duncan's books fall into, she seems to have it pretty much nailed." --The Toronto Star on Never Laugh as a Hearse Goes By "Cozy fans will enjoy this light, quick read (and delight at fellow fictional crime solver Dorothy Martin's cameo over a quick manicure)." --Library Journal on A Killer's Christmas in Wales "Duncan writes so well about the lives of people in a small village in Wales that the reader becomes immersed in their daily trials and tribulations. The follow-up to the award-winning The Cold Light of Mourning is sure to appeal to fans of M.C. Beaton and Agatha Christie." --Library Journal on A Brush with Death "Duncan's second is every bit as delightful as her debut...a smoothly written classic English mystery right up there with the best." --Kirkus Reviews on A Brush with Death "Readers who enjoy the English village cozy mysteries of Dorothy Cannell and Nancy Atherton will want to take a look at this series." --Booklist on A Brush with Death "A wonderfully talented author presents a soothing picture of Wales in this cozy. Fans of Louise Penny will love this book. There's plenty of intrigue to keep you turning pages into the night. The mystery is sharp and tangled and the characters sharp and interesting." --RT Book Reviews (4 1/2 stars) on A Brush with Death
