-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)-Multiple plotlines, a sympathetic main character, and its
lovingly described Welsh setting add to the appeal of this
satisfying cozy.- --Booklist-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-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
