DELILAH
Rhodri Wyn Owen (Gwasg Gomer)
A murder at the Millennium Stadium, inspired by a Tom Jones song. While Delilah couldn’t be any more stereotypically Welsh, it reveals a side of the nation we rarely see in literature. The plot follows Twm Bradley, a local newspaper journalist, who must clear his boss’s name when a recent murder brings up a buried past. When a book has as much detail as this, it can be excruciating not to try and solve the mystery before the protagonist reveals all, but it’s a thrilling read. This debut novel provides an exciting alternate history of our beloved Millennium Stadium around the time when it was being rebuilt in the 1990s, inspired by the atmosphere of rugby tournaments. If you like rugby, crime writing, Wales, or indeed all three, then you will enjoy Delilah. CD
