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

Inzwischen hat sich Constable Evan Evans in dem kleinen Ort Llanfair gut eingelebt und sich auch an seinen Job gewöhnt, bei dem es eher um einfache Schlichtungen bei Streitigkeiten geht. Dann wird ein Toter im Nachbarort Beddgelert gefunden und die Sache wird als Unfall betrachtet. Doch Evans ist sich sicher, dass mehr dahintersteckt. Er macht sich an die Ermittlungen, obwohl er nicht zuständig ist.
Dies ist nun der zweite Band, in dem Constable Evan Evans in Llanfair ermittelt. Wer hier ungeheure Spannung und sogar Action erwartet, ist mit diesem Buch nicht so gut bedient. In Llanfair geht es eher beschaulich und ruhig zu. Die Gegend ist malerisch und gut beschrieben. Der Schreibstil lässt sich einfach und gut lesen.
Die Charaktere sind toll dargestellt. Die Menschen in der Gegend sind alle etwas kauzig, aber liebenswürdig. Einige kennen wir ja schon aus dem Vorgängerband. Evans ist sympathisch und ein fähiger und hartnäckiger Ermittler, der sich auch auf sein Baugefühl verlässt. Wieder wird Evans von einer Frau umgarnt.
Es gibt immer neue Wendungen, die einen miträtseln lassen. So bleibt es doch spannend und auch das Ende ist schlüssig und konnte mich durchaus überraschen.
Ein atmosphärischer und spannender Krimi mit ganz besonderen Charakteren. ( )

Book two in the Constable Evans series has Evan looking into two seemingly unrelated deaths. Colonel Arbuthnot has wandered the area around the village for some time and, an amateur archeologist, he’s come across what he believes to be a credible ruin that could bring great attention to the village. After boasting to one and all at the pub one night, he leaves to go to his lodging house, but he never makes it home. He’s found the next day in the river; apparently having slipped off the footbridge while inebriated and drowned. A few nights later prodigal son Ted Morgan, who’s returned to the village from a successful career as a real estate developer in London, is found dead in his study, an apparent suicide. But both deaths are eventually deemed to be murder. There is no obvious connection between the two of them, so does this mean there are two murderous persons about in the small Welsh village?

I like Constable Evans, but this one dragged a little. Still, I enjoy spending time with the colorful residents of Llanfair. CP Evans’ slow-burn relationship with Bronwen is ever-so-slowly inching along. But Betsy the bar maid isn’t about to give up hope for a romance with him either. ( )

I missed the first book of the series but this novel has a good cast of characters and a beautiful setting but the plot suffers from too many coincidental strangers involved in a small village mystery.

These are such comfortable cozies if a little simple in that it's always going to be the outsiders who did it in such a small town ( )

This book was so very disappointing. She did write it a long time ago, and it shows. Weak plot, poor clues, stupid actions. And the editing of the large print was so bad that the typos interfered with my enjoyment. Back to the library w/ye!
