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 her is manicurist Penny
Brannigan, an expatriate Canadian who has lived in North
Wales for almost twenty-five years. When Penny notices that
something is not quite right at the funeral of her dearest
friend, she becomes emotionally invested in the case, and
sets out to investigate.
It seems that several people, including the bride’s drunken,
abusive father, had reasons to wish Meg dead, but when the
trail leads to her groom’s home, an explosive secret will
shake the small town.
With its bucolic Welsh setting and vivid, colorful
characters, this mystery is sure to delight the most
discerning of traditional-mystery fans.
