Mord im Nachbarort by Rhys Bowen
3.0
The second in the Constable Evans Welsh mystery series, Evan Help Us has a 1950-ish feel to it with a whole crew of fun characters whom you can't help but enjoy including the Detective Inspector who is more concerned with his fishing than the truth (he does remind me of Racer from the Inspector Jury series by Martha Grimes).
Constable Evan Evans has transferred to Llanfair to get away from the intensity of crime in the big city only to fall into it in this tiny, picturesque Welsh village. Two murders in about as many days...not what Annie Pigeon was expecting either!
One of the murdered men is a well-loved, long-time visitor about to put Llanfair on the tourist map while the other is an unloved, unwanted local who has returned after 20 years with his ideas for pulling tourists to Llanfair.
It's an easy, fun read that pokes you into wondering how last names evolved with a lively insight into the daily life of a Welsh village.
