What some Amazon reviewers have said about the series:
"Write Faster! Ok so I am addicted. I have made three trips to Sri Lanka and loved reading this series on the train to Nuara Eliya. I have read them all and love the characters. Write more soon!" S.Smith
"I'm having a lazy summer, and doing lots of reading. I don't remember how, exactly, I came upon the Nuala books, but just an hour ago I finished a binge read of all four of them. I love a well-written mystery," Julie A Drew
"I have really enjoyed all the books in this series! It is fascinating to experience another country and culture, while getting to read a good mystery as well. Keep them coming!" Jenny
"This is an unexpected treasure. Set in 1930s Ceylon. It is an interesting look at colonialism from the colonial side. I was engaged from the first page and kept in thrall until the end. Inspector de Silva and Jane are well drawn characters and I plan on following them through further adventures." Anna
"The sweltering heat and dazzling light of Ceylon in the 1930s pour out from the pages of "Trouble in Nuala". Shanti de Silva, Nuala's police inspector, navigates the complexities of colonial society under British Imperial rule even as he unpicks the threads of a classic murder mystery. First-class entertainment, with a memorable mix of characters." P. Bristow
"A captivating, relaxed read which was thoroughly enjoyable to the last page, set in a charming era, with an endearing lead character and in an interesting location." Amazon Customer
Genre: Cozy Mystery
