Summary
When Constable Evan Evans is persuaded to join the local male choir for the upcoming eisteddfod (cultural festival), he doesn't think the addition of his mediocre voice will do them much good. In spite of all the effort that choirmaster Mostyn Phillips puts in to the choir, it is not exactly first class. Hope arrives in the form of world-renowned tenor Ifor Llewelyn, come home to Llanfair to rest, on doctor's orders.
Llewelyn immediately sets about renewing old friendships, and Mostyn even persuades him to sing with the choir. But Ifor isn't in Llanfair long before the residents decide that his presence is a mixed blessing. Noisy fights between Ifor and his wife, a threatening stranger, and Ifor's own warped sense of humor make life in Llanfair increasingly tense. When he announces that he is planning to write his memoir, telling all about his numerous relationships with famous and infamous women, he jokes that some people won't be happy. But is someone unhappy enough to commit murder to stop him? While tracking down a dangerous killer, Constable Evans also manages to navigate the treacherous waters of neighborhood rivalries, lusty barmaids, and local gossip.
With her third book in this acclaimed series, Rhys Bowen offers another pause-resisting tale of small-town mayhem and murder in Evanly Choirs.

Disappointed
The story was very good, as was the narration, however the pronunciation was so disappointing that it jarred throughout. I cannot understand why when writing a lovely Welsh story the author was not concerned about that. It is so easy to use I instead of E for eisteddfod, when using Audible. I’m really hoping any future authors would be considerate of language as listening to books is all consuming and can be thoroughly therapeutic as well as just great!!!

Interesting Welsh pronunciation.
Good story, shame the narrator couldn't pronounce the Welsh correctly. It did start to jar after a while.

Welsh pronunciation
I am enjoying the Evans stories but find the Welsh pronunciation quite distracting. I do not understand why they cannot get a Welsh narrator or at least teach the narrator how to pronounce names and places correctly

I love Evan Evans!
I have become completely immersed in this series of books and am truly sad there are no more to listen to yet. Roger Clark's performance is absolutely brilliant and I have found his dulcet tones to be soothing whilst I listen. I listen whilst I'm getting ready (even using air pods whilst hair drying!), cooking or travelling.
The story is, as ever from Rhys Bowen, interesting from the outset, amusing and gripping, plus of course, rich in Welsh culture. Can't wait till June 30th for the next one!

Evenly Choirs
This is another great murder mystery with loads of red herrings taking to one way then the next, with light hearted banter all the why. Read brilliantly again by Roger Clark.

obvious solution
I mean these stories are entertaining and all but I do prefer detective stories where the detective is smarter than the reader. This was so obvious from the beginning - I am not sure if Constable Evans is supposed to be slow and that is supposed to be a part of the comedy - or if the author simply cannot come up with a better whodunnit? But for some reason I keep listening to these so not bad overall.
