Another good dose of Welsh noir, and very entertaining. I have read this series slightly in the wrong order, 1-3-2 (current book) and unfortunately it was that long ago that I read the first one that I've forgotten a lot of what happened. It was quite recently that I read the third one, so I did see a couple of things coming in this. But still, it was a good mystery and I had no idea what was going. It's all very suitably silly in a seriously written way!

Lordy, and how to describe this complex story? The continuing sagas of private detective, Louie Knight, and his teenage trainee detective, Calamity Jane. Gretel, a large student from Lampeter, hires them as the Dean has gone missing and she's worried. Turns out a Druid assasin may be after him, and there's talk of a satchel he's carrying with him. The whole Dean angle does then seem to get side lined a bit as the plot thickens and over complicates with all the locals, and their hidden pasts and double dealings. I love the idea of this illegal back street fight club where old biddies go to do gossip-fighting. Absolutely bonkers.
