The Day Aberystwyth Stood Still by Malcolm Pryce
In the latest hilarious instalment of Malcolm Pryce's Aberystwyth mysteries, Wales's answer to Philip Marlowe faces an axe-wielding rabbit-hugger, a green-eyed beauty who answers to the name Miaow, and a case that is out of this worldEffortless and hilarious.. in a league of his own * Time Out *
The X-Files crossed with Raymond Chandler, set in West Wales ... irresistible * Big Issue *
Pryce continues to put a uniquely surreal spin on the hoary old conventions of noir writing ... it's impossibly weird and, in parts, beautifully lyrical. Pryce's many fans certainly won't be disappointed * Guardian *
