Publisher's summary

Evan Evans is settling into his role as Constable of Llanfair, a small town nestled in the mountains of North Wales. Here, he has been a mediator of the minor disputes of the locals, between competing ministers, country merchants, and seemingly every Welch eccentric throughout the region. But an unusual series of events brings unseen hostilities to light, and Evan realizes just how deep the townsfolk's passions and hostilities lie.

While the village of Llanfair has always been at odds with the neighboring town of Beddgelert, an intriguing archeological find in the nearby hills brings that rivalry to dangerous extremes, and creates a circus of local enthusiasm and gossip. The circus quickly turns deadly, however, when Llanfair's prodigal son, Ted Morgan, announces plans to erect an amusement park over the site's excavation. Soon, Constable Evans is drawn into a whirl of cultural pride, deception, and greed, and while he's at it uncovers the town's undaunted ambition - to earn the right to the longest name in the world.

With the warmth, charm, and wry sense of humor that won listeners' hearts in Evans Above, Rhys Bowen offers a delightful new installment to an already cherished mystery series: Evan Help Us.

A mouthful of fun.

If you like "visiting" unique parts of the world and plugging in to the local lore, this series is for you. Evan Evans is the constable of Llanfair, a bucolic valley village in Wales. Everyone is named Evans and called by their professions, i.e. The constable is know as Evans the Law. Evans the Meat is the butcher and chief murder suspect in this charming story which involves the deaths of two outsiders within 24 hours. The village charm is made vivid by the expert narrator, Roger Clark, who impresses with his ability to pronounce Welch names of Record-setting length. Treat yourself.

Real good book

I enjoy this series. They are considered as cozy mysteries. It is nice to have a book not use bad language & no graphic sex scenes. I get so tried of such obscenity. Thanks to this author.

Enjoyable

I did not think I would get into this series but have found that I like it. It’s not as fun as the Royal Spyness series, and I like Molly Murphy too. Evans is very different but likable. If you like Evan Evans, you should try Dervla McTiernan’s “Cormac Reilly” series. You will love it as well.

Match Making, Mishaps and Murder

The second in the series finds Evans the Law investigating the death of the Colonel who appears to have accidentally drowned after a night at the pub with the lads, as they say in Wales . . . but Evans does not believe it to be an accident, as the well-liked English Colonel, a visitor from London, always took the same walk home from the pub . . . on another front, long lost native son, Ted Morgan has returned to town, after inheriting his father's land, and is planning an amusement park smack-dab in the middle of their quiet little village, stirring up the ire of Evans the Meat . . . and thirdly three women are vying for the attention of the handsome, strapping young Evan Evans the Constable, leaving him both flattered and flustered, undecided as to whether or not he's ready for a serious relationship . . . I really enjoy the cozy town of Llanfair and the folks who live and work there. I feel for them when the Colonel discovers what he believes to be ancient ruins which threatens to put Llanfair on the map, so to speak . . . when most of them what nothing more than for life to continue as it is . . . So with the pot well stirred, Evans the Law has his hands full, when, just as he suspected, it is determined that the Colonel was indeed murdered . . . and before long there is another murder . . . are they connected? And how?

So easy to listen to.

Not great literature, but certainly a great listen. I thoroughly enjoy these books. Glad there are more in the series.

Engaging story

Great pace, kept me interested and guessing the entire way. I've been waiting for the audios to come out for this series for a while now and rewarded for my patience, definitely not a disappointment. Great job, Ms. Bowen!

love this series

I love all Rhys Bowen series. This book is no exception. The characters are great and the mystery is always a mystery until the end. I hate mysteries where I know the murder in the first couple of chapters. you never get that in a Rhys Bowen book.
