Last Tango in Aberystwyth

Product Information

A polyglot, David is fluent in English, Welsh, and French, and can also converse in Italian, German, Portuguese, Spanish, Czech and Polish South Beach is much the quieter of the two beaches in Aberystwyth. It’s on the south side of Castle Hill and is a wide, pebbly beach with great views along the coast. The row of brightly painted houses and B&Bs adds to the seaside feeling of cheer and brightness. The village of Cwmystwyth (which means ‘Ystwyth Valley’) is several miles down the valley. Before you reach it, you pass the ruined lead mines that brought this remote place into being. As you descend, the landscape becomes gentler and more lush, eventually becoming the B4574 which takes you through the Hafod Estate to Devils Bridge. Aberystwyth Noir and Hinterland Typical Hinterland country – a waterfall in the Cambrian Mountains near Aberystwyth Its message is ‘Cofiwch Dryweryn’ – Remember Tryweryn. This refers to a notorious episode in Welsh history when the Tryweryn valley – near Bala in North Wales – was flooded to make way for a reservoir, Llyn Celyn, for the City of Liverpool.

The most famous graffiti in Wales can be found on the main A487 road about ten miles (16 km) south of Aberystwyth. I didn’t finish this book, not because I didn’t have the time to read it and have just given up on it but because what I have read of this book so far has barely held my attention when I’ve spent almost a whole month on the book already. If you have more than a passing interest in Welsh history or culture, than a visit to the National Library of Wales is a must. It’s long been one of my favourite things to do in Aberystwyth.

Before that, Welsh prince Owain Glyndwr captured it from the English in 1404, only to lose it five years later. It is also a great base for exploring Mid Wales, with the beautiful Cambrian Mountains just a few miles away by car. What is always a treat though is the world Pryce has built from a wonderful, but not exactly buzzing with activity, town. Aberystwyth was my home for four year before I finally had to say goodbye and return to London and I sometimes think I wish I’d seen it in such a unique and humour filled way. But I often return to that funny old town by the sea and every time it gets a little easier to sit on the castle, or the monument or one of the benches and watch the town turn darker and I almost expect to hear Myfanwy Montez’ voice carry on the wind.

Last Tango in Aberystwyth by Mr Malcolm Pryce (Paperback Last Tango in Aberystwyth by Mr Malcolm Pryce (Paperback

At exceptionally low tides, a petrified forest is revealed, the scattered tree stumps believed to be the remnants of the lost kingdom of Cantre’r Gwaelod. A few years on and Louie Knight does most of his work on small-time jobs, but often involving violence; a former lover, Bianca, died in his arms in Aberystwyth Mon Amour, and he nearly lost his assistant 'Calamity' (a nod to Calamity Jane) to a snuff movie in Last Tango in Aberystwyth, and saves his girlfriend, Myfanwy, from an evil genius. In The Unbearable Lightness of Being in Aberystwyth Myfanwy is kidnapped when she and Louie are fed drugged raspberry ripple ice cream. This worries him especially because Myfanwy is very ill, with Louie having to support her in a nursing home on the low earnings of an honest, small town PI. To facilitate this he now lives in a caravan, and has moved his office from the increasingly gentrified Canticle Street to 22/1b Stryd-Y-Popty.

It’s the better of the two beaches in Aberystwyth, a great place to spend time at any time of year, but most of all in summer.

Calamity" Jane, originally from Machynlleth, is Louie's assistant, whom he met as a tout in the Bingo hall during Aberystwyth Mon Amour. Aged 18 by The Unbearable Lightness she is more optimistic than Louie, and seems to base her detective technique on films. She investigated the old fire at Nanteos for a strange client, Gabriel Bassett, to gain her detectives licence. Her relationship with Louie is purely platonic, but no other lover of hers has been mentioned so far. Borth beach becomes Ynyslas beach near the northern end of the sands, and this section of the beach is surrounded by gorgeous dunes which are a haven for wildlife and rare orchids. The Cambrian Mountains Walkers on the summit of Foel Fadian in the Cambrian Mountains A huge part of my enjoyment of the 'Aberystwyth Noir' novels are the fact that I know the locations that are being referenced throughout them and this allows me to visualise the action - but also gives me a shot of nostalgia.
