Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Georgiana Neverall, a software engineer turned plumber, finds big trouble clogging a warehouse drain in Evans's cute cozy mystery debut. Georgie knows something bad has happened to Martha Tepper when she fishes the supposedly retired librarian's beloved brooch out of a pipe, but her boyfriend, City Councilmember Wade Montgomery, and the police dismiss her concerns. It's left to Georgie, her friend Sue and her boss's wife, Paula, to track down Martha's body with a little help from Georgie's Airedales, Daisy and Buddha. Suspects include Georgie's mother's boyfriend and Martha's accountant—who happens to be Wade. Evans garnishes the relatively straightforward mystery with plumbing tips and moments of wry humor from Georgie's interaction with her take-charge mother, her too-chatty friends and her adorable dogs.

More About the Author

Christy Evans is the mystery pen name of multi-published author Christina F. York.

Chris/Christy looks at writing like an all-you-can-eat buffet: she has to try a little bit of everything. She has written business and technical non-fiction, erotica, action-adventure, SF, fantasy, romance, YA, and various combinations of all of the above.
She has always loved words, in every form. Her first foray into publishing, as the ten-year-old reporter, editor and publisher of a one-page neighborhood newspaper, lasted only a few weeks. During the enforced retirement that followed, she finished grade school, high school, and college, married, had a couple kids, divorced, re-married, and eventually found her way back to writing.
An Oregon native, Christina has always lived on the West Coast. After growing up in the suburbs of L.A., she spent many years in and around Seattle, moved to Eugene, Oregon, and eventually settled on the rugged Oregon coast, where she can see the ocean from her office window. She shares her home with her husband, writer J. Steven York, and a couple of very spoiled cats.
She is currently at work on a mystery for Berkley Prime Crime (MURDER BUYS A T-SHIRT) under the name Christy Fifield, and another for Tsunami Ridge Publishing (STRUNG UP).

5.0 out of 5 stars Can a cozy credibly mix plumbing and mystery? Answer: Yes!, November 2, 2009
This review is from: Sink Trap (A GEORGIANA NEVERALL MYSTERY) (Paperback)
Georgiana Neverall, former Silicon Valley CEO, leaves a decidedly murky past to become a plumber's apprentice in her old home town of Pine Ridge, Oregon. But the day she discovers a piece of jewelry in a sink trap is the day she's ensnared in an old-fashioned whodunnit. For this piece of jewelry isn't one that a woman would leave behind...unless she was unable to come back.

Christy Evans spins a fun tale full of quirky characters out to fix their lives, unclog the pipes, and (in fine cozy fashion) solve the mystery along the way. Georgiana is by far the best and most fun of all the folks who people this book, a woman who's struggling to remake her life, put a troubled past behind her, and reconnect with her old crowd of friends. As she describes her plumbing technique - and her approach to life, one suspects - it's one where she has the right tools, and 'a whole lot of stubborn'.

The mystery plot is less a matter of winnowing out the suspects and more about finding proof that will stick. And speaking of 'stick', it's likely that a lot of readers are going to be sticking around to see what further trouble Ms. Neverall will encounter in the course of keeping the taps running in the Pacific Northwest.

This review is from: Sink Trap (A GEORGIANA NEVERALL MYSTERY) (Paperback)
I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!! Christy Evans is my new favorite author!! Her character Georgie is a strong woman. No whining from her. I've already pre-ordered her next book. Look forward to more in the future. I had a tough time putting it down, even lost some sleep. What a wonderful read. kg

2.0 out of 5 stars The prospect of a good story is flushed down the pipes., February 26, 2010
This review is from: Sink Trap (A GEORGIANA NEVERALL MYSTERY) (Paperback)
I'm a brain candy literature junkie. Sink Trap was the clove jellybean in my recent bag of book goodies. It was icky tasting and disappointing. I had to force myself to finish it. The plot was thin and most of the characters bland.

Plumber's assistant Georgiana Neverall has potential. She's a strong woman and hard worker. However, her amateur sleuth status matches this unskilled mystery story. Sink Trap comes close but misses a three-star rating. I want more pizzazz, pop, and plot in my mystery reading munching.
