To the girls who came to make it big in the town's 'What the Butler Saw' movie industry, Aberystwyth was the town of broken dreams. To Dean Morgan who taught at the Faculty of Undertaking, it was just a place to get course materials. But both worlds collide when the Dean checks into the notorious bed and breakfast ghetto and mistakenly receives a suitcase intended for a ruthless druid assassin. Soon he is running for his life, lost in a dark labyrinth of druid speakeasies and toffee apple dens, where every spinning wheel tells the story of a broken heart, and where the Dean's own heart is hopelessly in thrall to a porn star known as Judy Juice.

A private detective story filled with puns, cliches and in-jokes from Wales. Yet, somehow, Pryce makes you look past the sillyness and it jut becomes a part of the story.An easy-read, though I think you really need to know a little about Wales to appreciate half of it.
Dull, bitty and distinctly not as funny as it thinks it is.
