Evan Only Knows

Rhys Bowen. Minotaur Books, $23.95 (256pp) ISBN 978-0-312-30113-2

Agatha Award-winner Rhys Bowen (Death of Riley) presents her good-natured Welsh policeman with a painful personal challenge in Evan Only Knows: A Constable Evans Mystery, the seventh entry in this winning series. A visit to his mother in Swansea leads the constable to a meeting with the young man convicted of murdering Evan's father, now released and charged with a second murder. The fellow claims he's innocent-and Evan is inclined to believe him.
