Resumen del Editor

When Constable Evan Evans and his new fiancée decide to travel south from home in Llanfair, Wales, to visit his mother in Swansea, they're not expecting the disturbing news that greets them on their arrival: the young thug convicted of murdering Evan's father several years earlier is suspected of murder once again. Tried as a juvenile for Evan's father's death, Tony Mancini only served four years in prison. Now he's been accused of killing Alison Turnbull, a local teen and the daughter of Mancini's boss. But when Evan goes to meet the boy face-to-face, he's surprised to find not the stone-cold killer he expected but a scared young man who swears his innocence.

Against his own wishes, and ignoring his superiors, Evan believes the boy's claim of innocence and decides to investigate, at potential peril to his career. But is his instinct correct, or is Mancini just trying to save himself? And how will he reconcile his actions with his memory of his father's murder, which has haunted him for so long? Evan Evans is up to the challenge, to be sure, and faces it all with characteristic good humor and the Welsh charm that sets Rhys Bowen's successful cozy series apart.

Not yet.

Still hoping another love interest shows up for Constable E. I'll be reading on now, won't I ?

Back to the place of birth

An interesting adventure, this once in his own place of birth. Some insights on his father’s death. Very good!

Liked it

Like usual I love these storylines and the Narrator. A Wonderful escape from reality for a bit

Enjoying the series

Always a good drama
We enjoy good clean stories and these are about as clean as you can get nowadays.

New depths

This installment is a very worthy and intimate look at Evan's personal life and character. It's the raison d'etre for who Evans is as a man and an officer. It also brings new depth to his fiancée's character and flavor to their relationship. Nicely done!
P.S. Per the earlier reviewer complaint on language: it was extremely limited and situational, and it clearly was not the modus operandi of the main characters.

A big fan of Constable Evans, but..

I’ve listened to all the previous audiobooks in this series and enjoyed them immensely. And I enjoyed this one, too - but a bit less so. The performance was on par, but the story, in my opinion, wasn’t up to snuff. Before the story was halfway through I was sure I knew who the culprit was, and unfortunately I was correct. This storyline was just too predictable. Hoping for more “mystery” from the next one!

Delightful.

So nice to listen to a good story without cursing. Love the accents. This was unusual because the setting was not Evan’s hometown. It was nice for a change. I think I have listened to the entire series.

Enjoyable series

I did skip book 6 because I get tired of authors making fun of church going people and then their views on politics and uplifting things like Druidism. So I saved myself the headache. But I’m on to book 8 now.

Bronwen the new detective

I was so frustrated that Evan couldn't stop being a cop while on vacation. It was too much., I did however enjoy Bronwen undercover.

Enjoyable

Alway a good story teller - listened over a few days while overseas. Kept wanting to know what happens next
