Evans Above

Evans Above by Rhys Bowen
Read March 2019


I had never read anything by Rhys Bowen until the Molly Murphy mystery I just finished.  I liked it so much that I chose to read this one next.  It is another mystery series but this time set in a small village in Wales with a young police constable named Evan Evans as the protagonist.  It is good and I am enjoying it.  I liked the Molly Murphy character better, but Evan is growing on me.  :)  This one takes place in modern times and I may like the historical aspect of the Molly mysteries better.  But I do love practically any book that takes place in the British Isles.  



Murphy's Law

Murphy's Law by Rhys Bowen
Read March 2019


This was my first Molly Murphy mystery.  Actually, my first book by Rhys Bowen, period.  I really, really enjoyed this book and can't wait to get more in this series.  I love the historical fiction part of the story and feel like the author did a great job with that.  The mystery was also good, although I had a feeling I knew who 'did it' early on and was right.  But that didn't diminish my enjoyment of the story.  Sweet at times, suspenseful at times... well written.  I am now reading another book by this author (in a different series) simply because I enjoyed this one.  Not getting into the other one quite as quickly, but it is still good.
