Summary

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.

Another nail biter!

Loving Evan Evans series! This is another great listen. I find it so soothing whilst I sit and paint, sew, cook or clean. I can be lost for hours though so I get through them quickly!!

Story set in Swansea this time so I hope this is the only reason for the introduction of bad language which so far as been mercifully absent. Just off to download the next one now....!

Evan Only Knows

Another terrific murder mystery, this time away from his mountains as Evan and Bronwyn visit their parents. With him being keen just to join in he finds that things are not what they seem, read brilliantly once again by Roger Clark.

not the best so far

this is the book I have least enjoyed. the previous books have been believable in their own way but it's as if this one has been written by someone else. the story is so far fetched, i was struggling to finish it. I hope the next one is better

Took a long time to get going

The first 12 chapters we’re setting the scene, when it gets going it’s good. But you need stamina to get there
