Conveying characters' emotions.

Because I write 1930s cozy mysteries, I sometimes like to keep things a little understated. I think less is more in terms of emotional impact sometimes. 

Though this is true of my 'contemporary' murder Friendship Can Be Murder series, which are written as 1st POV diary entries (yes, I now know no one likes that, but 11-12 years ago, I didn't realise) So Criss Cross, when her hubs is murdered, MC simply records:
'Thomas is dead. And I am alone.'
