Evans What a Great Cozy Series
If you are a cozy mystery fan and you haven’t discovered this series yet, oh my, are you in for a delightful time! Award winning writing and deservedly so with its setting, characters, and twists and turns in the plots. What is especially lovely is how each book carries on the underlying main storyline, yet keeps going with another tangler of a mystery murder. It all takes place in contemporary sleepy South Wales, which means it has an air of the English to it, but being Wales it is distinctively not English.
Bowen is adept at juxtaposing a sleepy remote Wales village with the nuances of the modern world. Readers look forward to how Constable Evans moves along in life while relishing yet another well-done murder mystery. Iechyd da!
All the Evan books were wonderful and I wish there was a #11 with little Evans’ roaming the mountainside. I have not yet tried her other series. The Royal Spyness series takes place in the 1930’s and might be my next try of a Rhys Bowen. Our library has three of the titles!
It was such a fun series. I feel adrift after finishing one up. Time to find another!
