Product Description

Synopsis

World-renowned singer Ifor Llewelyn comes back to his quiet Welsh hometown on doctor's orders. But the visit didn't exactly benefit his health. The hard-drinking ladies' man has just been found dead - and Constable Evan Evans is trying to find out why. Ifor's noisy fights with his wife, and his plans to write a juicy kiss-and-tell memoir, may provider the answer. Or the local gossips and lusty barmaids of Llanfair just might be in possession of the crucial clue. Wherever the truth lies, Constable Evans must delve into the private life of a public legend - and learn what really lead to his not-so-grand finale...

2.0 out of 5 stars Pseudo Welsh!, 20 Sep 2007
By Mrs. Margaret Bruce (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Evanly Choirs (Hardcover)
The plot of this novel is quite good....and I enjoyed it...apart from some MAJOR annoyances. There is a glossary of Welsh words at the beginning with most phrases being correctly spelled but the pronunciation guide is hilarious!
The author kindly gives a preface explaining what happens at a Welsh Eisteddfod....but it is utterly erroneous which I found exasperating as it gives non Welsh readers a totally false idea of what an Eisteddfod is all about. The book is set in North Wales but she has the characters using South Walian expressions....e.g. "Indeed to goodness" and behaving in a way North Wales villagers wouldn't.
The character names are also not authentic. There are 2 rival churches (chapels) in the story and she calls them "Chapel Beulah" and "Chapel Bethel". In Welsh this is the right form...."Capel Beulah" etc. but the English would be "Beulah Chapel". These are just a few examples....there were lots more which combined to let any Welsh reader know that this book was written by an English person who should have done better research or set the book in England!
There were several grammatical errors and typos.
I also had the feeling that the author was imitating the Hamish MacBeth books by M C Beaton....but without success!

5.0 out of 5 stars Murder Hits a Sour Note, 7 Sep 2003
By Mark Baker (Santa Clarita, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Evanly Choirs: A Constable Evans Mystery (Constable Evan Evans Mysteries) (Hardcover)
Constable Evan Evans has been convinced to add his voice to the town men's chorus for the upcoming cultural festival. Llanfair has struggled for years to win, but this year, they have a secret weapon. World famous tenor Ifor Llewelyn is back in his boyhood home to rest and agrees to add his talents. But when he is found murdered the night before the competition, things start to get out of control. Evan must sort through all the conflicting stories to find the real killer. Meanwhile, his relationship with Bronwen hits a snag in the form of Betsy, the barmaid. And the Davises and Powell-Joneses are competing against each other in the festival. Can Evan keep peace in this town and find the killer?

Fans of this series will love the third volume. The author has not strayed at all from the format of the previous two books, which is good because it works so well. The plotting, while a bit slow at first, is top notch. I was caught off guard by the ending. The sub-plots add just the right amount of charm and humor, while the characters continue to entertain. I'm really growing to care for this village.

Cozy fans need look no further for a great series that combines likable main characters with great plotting. If you haven't tried this series yet, pick up the first, Evans Above. You'll be glad you did.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute delight, 5 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Evanly Choirs: A Constable Evans Mystery (Constable Evan Evans Mysteries) (Hardcover)
EVANLY CHOIRS, the third book in a charming series by Rhys Bowen, returns the reader to the village of LLanfair, Wales and the world of Police Constable Evan Evans. The mysteries in this delightful series are intriguing, but the true joy in reading them comes from the feeling that you know the people of Llanfair.

Bowen has created a village full of wonderfully idiosyncratic characters; from Evans the Meat (butcher) to Evans the Post (mailman), to the alluring barmaid, Betsy who has set her sights on the charming Evan Evans (Evans the cop).

The murders are a fun puzzle, but the visit to Llanfair is priceless.
