About this listen

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.

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

This is another fun murder mystery where Constable Evans seems to be the only police officer not jumping to conclusions. With all the single ladies fighting for his attention it becomes quite comical. Read brilliantly again by Roger Clark.

This is the 2nd time I've listened to this. I love Evan Evans stories and am impatiently waiting for them all to be released. Roger Clark's voice is wonderful - he's a bit rubbish at English and what I guess was Scottish accents, but that makes it all the more real for me. He has three switch between voices and narration down pat - I can't get this right when I'm reading to my niece!

Highly recommended, with a story that keeps us hooked till the end, but that's Rhys Bowen for you!

When's the next one?

The story was ok but it didn’t take much to figure most of it out !
The narrator was ok in Welsh but the London accent was a different kettle of fish - kept sliding into Australian - unfortunately as the story had no links with any Aussie area of London it grated somewhat.
Not a writer I would read more of.

The accents !!

Great pace of story with good twists. Second book in series- adding depth to characters met in the first one.

lovely welsh narrator

This is the first of these books I have read, but I will certainly read more. The characters are believable, and all have a place. Brilliantly performed.

Nice part of Wales for a murder

I enjoyed the story as much as the first, and will get the 3rd book of the series. I hope Evan's love interest is less jealous and he develops enough to open his mouth to clear up misunderstandings.

Good story and interesting plot

This story was ruined for me by the appalling pronunciation of Welsh place names and words. It’s not ‘Clanfair’, Banger (Bangor) or Bed (Bedd) Gelert. There are many internet sources to help should the narrator be interested. In addition, the author (an American lady) made a number of errors, already referred to in previous reviews.
I will not be listening to anymore ‘Evan’ stories.

Poor Welsh pronunciation

Very sad that the reader could not be bothered to find out how to pronounce Welsh words. It really spoils the experience.

Easy reading likeable characters but
