She a) loves these books, and b) pointed out that there are some marked similarities between the Malcolm Pryce books and the recent tv series Hinterland / Y Gwyll, also set in Aberystwyth. Although, I'd have to say there was a tremendous shortage of jokes and all round fun and games in the latter.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06011296681890229306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-26749748725016625772014-05-28T12:21:48.158+01:002014-05-28T12:21:48.158+01:00That's a fine review.

As you said they are not just using a storyline to crack jokes; the plot races you along and there is a wonderful mixture of warmth and truly quirky humour that I haven't come across anywhere else - Terry Pratchett has the warmth and Jasper Fforde certainly has a quirky humour but Malcolm Pryce is an original.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09607730482770288590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-85050085687765276192014-05-28T12:12:48.415+01:002014-05-28T12:12:48.415+01:00Can heartily recommend ALL the books.

This one, I am sure, since I like to start at the beginning. And I love the covers. <br /><br />I am not sure about mixing humor or Druids with noir but still, I have to try it. So thanks for the introduction. <br /><br />The choice of photos is great too, and so different.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-83238452546347746592013-12-18T22:09:25.004+00:002013-12-18T22:09:25.004+00:00Like I said above I can't actually vouch for t...Like I said above I can't actually vouch for the further books.
