This is the second installment of Evan Marshall's delightful mystery series. Jane's foray into the pop world with youthful superstar Goddess is hilarious, and Jane herself is always fun to watch. The inhabitants of Shady Hills are a lively and interesting bunch, especially the members of Jane's knitting circle who hide a multitude of secrets beneath their knitting patterns and needles. Marshall keeps the pace quick and lively, and his take on the New York literary scene is slyly funny.

Spending time with Constable Evans and the inhabitants of Llanfair is like spending time with old friends. The inhabitants of Llanfair, from the fair Bronwyn Price, the schoolteacher, to the hotheaded Evans the Meat (the butcher) to the dueling pastors of rival churches, are all enormously diverting. The local Welsh scenery is vivid and makes one want to book a trip to Wales immediately. Rhys Bowen's series is charming and funny, and extremely well-executed. Fans of the village mystery will enjoy making the acquaintance of Evans and the other inhabitants of the quaint village Llanfair.
