About this title

Review:

"The author's cosily intimate style, unusual setting, and modest, down-home hero... make for satisfying entertainment." Kirkus reviews on Evanly Choirs "Delightful storytelling style. Her dialogue is smart and immensely lifelike, and her portrait of a small Welsh town and its quirky inhabitants is utterly charming." Booklist on Evan Can Wait"

Synopsis:

When Constable Evan Evans and his new fiancee decide to take a trip south from their Welsh village of Llanfair to visit Evan's mother, they are met with disturbing news: the young thug convicted of killing Evan's father is accused of murder again. Yet when Evan meets Tony Mancini, he finds, not the ice-cold killer he was expecting, but a frightened young lad who swears he's innocent. Mancini served only four years for the death of Evan's father, but this time, up on a charge of killing Alison Turnbull, his boss's teenage daughter, he could go down for life. Against his own wishes - and those of his superiors - Evan finds himself compelled to investigate. But is he right to believe Mancini? And how can he reconcile his actions with the death of his father?
