With her third book in this acclaimed series, Rhys Bowen offers another page-turning tale of small-town mayhem and murder, in Evanly Choirs

When Constable Evan Evans is persuaded to join the local male choir for the upcoming eisteddfod (cultural festival), he doesn't think the addition of his mediocre voice will do them much good. In spite of all the effort that choirmaster Mostyn Phillips puts in to the choir, it is not exactly first class. Hope arrives in the form of world renowned tenor Ifor Llewelyn, come home to Llanfair to rest, on doctor's orders.

Llewelyn immediately sets about renewing old friendships, and Mostyn even persuades him to sing with the choir. But Ifor isn't in Llanfair long before the residents decide that his presence is a mixed blessing. Noisy fights between Ifor and his wife, a threatening stranger, and Ifor's own warped sense of humor make life in Llanfair increasingly tense. When he announces that he is planning to write his memoirs, telling all about his numerous relationships with famous and infamous women, he jokes that some people won't be happy. But is someone unhappy enough to commit murder to stop him? While tracking down a dangerous killer, Constable Evans also manages to navigate the treacherous waters of neighborhood rivalries, lusty barmaids, and local gossip.

Constable Evans ist in Llanfair angekommen und wird daher gebeten den Männerchor zu verstärken, denn der will beim Eisteddfod in Harlech mitmachen. Auch der berühmte Tenor Ifor Llewellyn, der in dem kleinen Dorf Urlaub machen will, lässt sich überreden mitzumachen. Doch der Opernsänger weiß alles besser und nervt mit seinen Allüren, was die anderen dann sehr nervt. Bei der Generalprobe erscheint Ifor nicht. Evans und der Chorleiter finden dann seine Leiche und Evans macht die Auffindesituation dann auch gleich misstrauisch. Er geht nicht von einem Unfall aus.
Dies ist nun der dritte Band, in dem Constable Evan Evans in Llanfair ermittelt. Bei dieser Kirmi-Reihe geht es eher ruhig zu, dafür wird die Atmosphäre in dem kleinen beschaulichen Dorf gut dargestellt. Der Schreibstil lässt sich einfach und gut lesen.
Die Charaktere sind toll dargestellt. Die Menschen in der Gegend sind alle etwas kauzig, aber liebenswürdig. Einige kennen wir ja schon aus dem Vorgängerband. Evans ist sympathisch und ein fähiger und hartnäckiger Ermittler, der sich auch auf sein Baugefühl verlässt. Ifor ist berühmt, ein Weiberheld und hat Starallüren.
Die Ermittlerfähigkeiten von Constable Evan Evans sind also wieder einmal gefragt. Dabei kommt es immer wieder zu Wendungen, die einen nicht sicher sein lassen, wer den nun aus welchem Grund den Mord begangen hat. Es gibt auch einige Personen, die ein Motiv hätten und sogar Geständnisse. Aber auch dieses Mal wird Evans zeigen, dass er mehr ist als ein kleiner Dorfpolizist.
Ein atmosphärischer, spannender und humorvoller Krimi mit ganz besonderen Charakteren. ( )

Evan Evans is growing on me. I liked this book. It was also edited better than the last one - no glaring typos to bring one down out of the story.

Evanly Choirs is the third in Rhys Bowen's Constable Evan Evans series. It is the first one I read, but it stood alone just fine.
In this story a former Llanfair boy who has become a famous opera singer returns to the small town in Wales for a rest. Ifor Llewelyn's mother worked in the big house that he rents for the summer. He went to college with the local choir master so it is natural that they want him to sing in the National musical competition. Evan has also been recruited to join the choir. He is courting the local school teacher, Bronwen, but is being actively pursued by the local barmaid. Ifor is well known for his dalliances and has made it known that he is planning on writing his memoirs and does not care who he may hurt in the process. He and his wife are constantly arguing and the neighbours are calling Evan regarding the domestic disputes going on at the Powell-Jones house. When Ifor does not show up for a choir practice, Evan and Austin Mostyn head over to see what has happened to him. Of course he is dead. A lot of suspicious happenings convince Evan and eventually the rest of the police that he was murdered. I love the names of the characters, Evans-the-Meat, Evans-the-Post, Roberts-the-Pump, Harry-the-Pub etc. in the story. A fun read. ( )
