Constable Evans joins Sergeant Watkins to follow a trail of clues that leads them to the South of England and then to France, and finally to the conclusion that a dangerous killer is loose in Llanfair, in Rhys Bowen's fourth Evan Evans mystery, Evan and Elle.

There is both excitement and dismay in Llanfair when a new French restaurant opens. The glamorous owner, Madame Yvette, tries to win over the locals, and everything seems to be going well until a string of fires plagues the town. One night the restaurant burns down, and a body is found in the rubble.

First of i thoroughly enjoy the voice and reading of Mr Clark! He brings these stories to life, Thank you for your time and great narration.
This is the 3rd book in the series that i have listened to. I loved the first two books, but this one really kept going, smoothly and surprisingly into the twists and turns of a deeper plot.
Truly enjoy everything about the lovely cast of Welsh characters. I am looking forward to listening to the rest of this series. Thank you Rhys Bowen for your excellent stories!

As always; good Welsh fun!

I was held captive by the plot line, trying to identify the guilty parties. The complex psychology of an arsonist, as well as that of an adolescent, was riveting. All of this is backed up by a growing love story and the beauty of
Cymraeg. Well done! Diolch!!

This addition of the Evan Evan’s series, was riveting to the end. Admittedly, I was surprised at several junctions in the story and enjoyed it immensely. I hope you do the same.

Narrator does an awesome job with the Welsh, though his French accent is a bit stereotypical.

Even though it's the fourth in the series, it's the first I've encountered. It's a nice, straightforward mystery that gets more complicated as the plot progresses. It's set in a fictional town located around Llanberis in Wales, and having spent some time in the area, when real towns and mountains are mentioned I was able to imagine it. But I wish the book set the scene a little better with more description. Overall, I enjoyed it,
My problem is with the narrator who projects his voice as if he were onstage, his French accent is awful, and while he gets the proper lilt of the Welsh accent, it is often tinged with an Irish brogue, which I found off-putting. I'm interested enough to want more, so, now I'll read the series in chronological order, but I'll read it on my Kindle.
