Özet

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.

Rhys Bowen has written a gentle ‘Bobby’ tale set in the majestic scenery of Snowdonia with the great mountain a constant background influencing the story. I haven’t actually finished yet but it is a triple murder investigation, so far, in the days before mobile phones and internet, and the characters involved range from local North Waleans to Liverpool and London plus the local toff of course, military and brusque. There’s also a real foreigner, German no less, a victim’s wife, living in Liverpool. Quite a range and bit of a challenge I admit. A good narrator holds your interest or can have you drifting off. This narrator’s voice is very pleasant to listen to but doesn’t cope well with the transitions and delivers some remarkable combinations which drift into Australian/S African lilts in the southern accented characters. Tends to confuse and diminish the interest in the character. Better to use one voice well than several with varying degrees of success. So, accidents or murder? Murder obviously but I may never find out the truth or whether the hero gets the right girl.

Good tale but badly narrated

This murder mystery has lovely descriptions of the Walsh mountains and county side, along with a lively village life. With possible multiple murders in the loose this was a tiff case, especially as Evan Evans was ordered off it. Still with luck and the mountains in his side he made it though. With the lovely to listen to voice of Roger Clark taking you on the journey.

As a keen Reader of Rhys Bowens other series, I looked forward to the PC Evans books set in my native Wales. However, from the outset the mangling of Welsh place names jarred to the point that I abandoned the book after a couple of chapters but decided to persevere in the hope that I would be able to ignore the problem. The story line was not as good as those of the Royal Spyness books but would not have stopped me continuing with further books in the series. I will try the next one but unless the narrator is taught the correct way to pronounce the limited range of Welsh words used, I'm not sure that I will go Further.

Spoiled by narration

Loved it. The characters and the story are brilliant and Roger Clark reads it so well.

Enjoyable and entertaining story.

An easy listen. Well read. bit slow in places. But if you want a cosy easy listen look no further. But high literature it's not! It is what it is. enjoy!

Harmless!
