Another novel in the Daf Dafis detective/rural fiction series. In this novel, Inspector Daf Dafis is trying to organise his wedding, but when a body is discovered in the chicken shed of a neighbouring farm, things become messy… As in Myfanwy’s previous novels, we are introduced to a host of interesting and diverse characters, and humour is used alongside deep and serious themes that affect rural Wales today.

Setting of the novel: the countryside of Montgomeryshire.

This is Myfanwy Alexander’s seventh novel, following A Oes Heddwas (July 2015), Pwnc Llosg (April 2016), Y Plygain Olaf (November 2017), Mynd fel Bom (December 2019), Coblyn o Sioe (July 2023), and Cath Fenthyg (2025). A Oes Heddwas has now been translated into English under the title *Bloody Eisteddfod*, and Pwnc Llosg has been translated under the title *Burning Issue*. A Oes Heddwas was adapted into a radio drama last summer in Welsh on Radio Cymru and in English on Radio 4, and both versions received an excellent reception.
