About this listen
Evan Evans is a young police constable who has traded in the violence of city life for idyllic Llanfair, a Welsh village tucked far away from trouble. Nestled among the Snowdonia mountain range, Llanfair looks to Constable Evans like a town forgotten by time, but he quickly learns that even the bucolic countryside has its share of eccentric - and deadly - characters. Evans' new neighbors include two competitive ministers vying for the souls of their flock, one lascivious barmaid, and three other Evanses: Evan-the-Meat, Evans-the-Milk, and Evans-the-Post (whose favorite hobby is to read the mail before he delivers it).
Before Evans has time to sort through the complicated relationships and rivalries of his new home, he's called to the scene of a crime as brutal and fearsome as any he encountered in the big city. Two hikers have been murdered on the trails of the local mountain, and Evans must hunt down a vicious killer - who may or may not be linked to the mysterious destruction of Mrs. Powell-Jones' prize-winning tomatoes.
Evans Above is the first novel in Rhys Bowen's popular Constable Evans Mystery Series.

A trip to Wales
Absolutely love this book and the next two available on Audible - the narrator is fantastic! He embodies all of the characters so well and at times I find I am laughing aloud with the characters. Good little mysteries as well, suitable for most ages. Come on Audible, please arrange to make the rest of the series available!!

Just barely okay
I was hoping to like this book as there are quite a few in the series and the Welsh setting is intriguing, but I found it quite a bit too "cozy" for my taste. The plot was pretty thin, the characters lacked depth, and the whole thing was very flat overall. I won't be listening to any more of these.

Evans ave by Rhys Bowen read by Roger Clarke
The narrator had a very nice voice with a nice Welsh sound to it. I liked
Mz. Bowens ' stories. always full of different people and places and most knowledgeable about the areas in which she sets her tales . In Book 1 she ntoduces us to a new setting in the North of Wales. Sit down and let the story begin.

Solid storytelling
Enjoyed this mystery set in Wales in the late 1990s. Characters and plot are sufficiently complex without being overly dense, making for an engaging tale.
