Evanly Choirs (Constable Evans Mystery #3)
by Rhys BowenWorld-renowned tenor Ifor Llewelyn came back to his quiet Welsh hometown on doctor's orders. But the visit didn't exactly benefit his health. The hard-drinking ladies' man has just been found dead-and Constable Evan Evans is trying to find out why. Ifor's noisy fights with his wife-and his plans to write a juicy kiss-and-tell memoir-may provide the answer. Or the local gossips and lusty barmaids just might be in possession of the crucial clue. Wherever the truth lies, Constable Evans must delve into the private life of a public legend-and learn what really led to his not-so-grand finale ...
Evans Above (Constable Evans Mystery #1)
by Rhys BowenThe Welsh mountains are as much characters in this book as are the people in the village. Evan has returned to the place of his birth seeking a quieter life-style. When two climbers fall to their deaths, he suspects foul play; while searching for evidence that the two were murdered, he endures strong criticism from his superiors. Evan also finds himself involved with the affection of two very different young ladies. Constable Evan, known as Evans-the Law, deals with many notable characters and suspects like Evans-the-Milk, Evans-the-Meat, Bronwen the school teacher, Major Anderson, owner of the unpopular tourist inn shaped like a Swiss Chalet, Betsy the fetching Barmaid, Dylis, the shy teenager who wants nothing more than to have one dance with the constable, and Mrs. Williams, a landlady who delights in overfeeding and spoiling her mild mannered, law enforcing tenant.
Evan's Gate (Constable Evans Mystery #8)
by Rhys Bowen[from the dust jacket:] "When Constable Evan discovers a beautiful shepherd's cottage in the mountains of Llanfair, Wales, he and his fiancée are thrilled. It's only months before their wedding and they are eager to begin their new life together. The cottage is in need of renovation, so Evan wastes no time before he begins making much-needed repairs. It turns out, though, that Evan's discovery extends far beyond the beauty of a mountaintop view and a cozy dream-house when he finds the skeleton of a child buried in the front yard. His professional inclinations soon get the best of him, and he cannot rest until he discovers the identity of the child. The skeleton is decades old, but the discovery eerily coincides with the case of a present-day missing girl. Although discouraged by his fellow detectives, Evan dives into the mystery of both missing children. He soon realizes that if he can solve the decades-old death, he just might find a crucial insight into the whereabouts of the child missing in the present day" A one page dictionary of Welsh words which occur in the book is included. Bookshare has the other books in this series rich in Welsh local color, familiar characters and mystery.
