Evan Evans
is a Police Constable in the North Wales village of Llanfair. He has no gun and
no car. He is expected to walk the village and respond to calls from Mrs.
Powell-Jones reporting that someone has stolen her prize tomatoes. When two men
apparently fall to their death on Snowdon mountain, none of the official
detectives are interested in his theory that they were murdered. He is not
easily discouraged.
In addition
to receiving no respect for HQ, the entire town is working to get Evans
married. The two leading candidates are Betsy, the sexually forward barmaid
from the Red Dragon Pub. The village seems to have two churches and a single
pub. The second candidate is the local schoolteacher, Bronwen Price, who keep
arriving when the shy Evans has failed to discourage the forward Betsy. This is
the comic relief.
A murder
mystery where a simple accident becomes more and more complex as the story
unfolds.
