Constable Evan Evans leaves behind the big city for the sleepy Welsh village of Llanfair. But murder follows him . . .


Evans is settling into his role as constable of Llanfair, a small village nestled in the beautiful mountains of North Wales.

He just wants a quiet life, but the village’s most notorious resident, Ted Morgan, has returned from London after twenty years. He’s planning to build a huge theme park to attract tourists — much to the horror of the local folk.

Then the body of eighty-eight-year-old widower Colonel Arbuthnot is found with a suspicious head wound.

Right after he discovered an ancient ruin on the very site that Ted Morgan wants to build his theme park . . .

Evans investigates, but a second death throws the village into turmoil. One death may be an accident, two is definitely murder.

Constable Evan Evans has his work cut out in this charming cozy Welsh village mystery.

If you love Midsomer Murders, Faith Martin, Simon Brett, Glenda Young, Stella Cameron, Frances Evesham, Richard Osman, L.J. Ross, Clare Chase, Margaret Mayhew or M.C. Beaton, prepare to be hooked by this enchanting character-driven mystery!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “When you are not laughing aloud, you are sitting there trying to solve the crimes along with Constable Evans.” Jeannie + Louis

MEET THE DETECTIVE
Evan Evans is a fit, ambitious young detective who was in training in Swansea when his family was struck by tragedy. Feeling that nothing makes sense anymore, Evan escapes to his early childhood home in Snowdonia where he becomes a community policeman. But despite the idyllic setting he can’t help getting involved in major crimes. He is broad shouldered, keen on rugby and a pint — and the sort of decent chap you’d be happy to have as a son-in-law.

THE SETTING
Llanfair is a charming village high in the beautiful Welsh mountains of Snowdonia. It is peopled by a cast of quirky characters, including the butcher Evans-the-Meat, the dairyman Evans-the-Milk, the postman Evans-the-Post, two warring Methodist ministers, their more aggressively warring wives, a flirtatious barmaid at the Red Dragon pub and a beautiful, enigmatic schoolteacher. The people of Llanfair enjoy a simpler way of life, and uphold local traditions proudly.
