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.'

 The late great Maurice (left) and the late great Skanky (a stray) looking at me like they don't know what I mean when I say 'What are you doing on the work-top? Get down at once!'

 I always need guidance in my choice of profession...

 I want to take part in one of those supermarket sweep type games where you grab as much as you can in a short space of time. But with books...

 Me too, though I've often heard it called the beginner's pov. I love working within the limitations of the 1st person.
