Random Deaths and Custard

Sam Jones is a perfectly ordinary Valleys girl. Except for the random deaths, that is. Which she only just manages to avoid.

She has plenty of other crosses to bear: Custard's, the custard factory where she works; Nana's farting and Anti Peg's swearing; her Mam's boyfriend; her squaddie brother. Not to mention the posh Welshies at the end of the road. There's even a rock band ...
