About this listen

When Inspector Shanti de Silva moves with his English wife, Jane, to his new post in the sleepy hill town of Nuala, he anticipates a more restful life than police work in the big city entails. However an arrogant plantation owner with a lonely wife, a crusading lawyer, and a death in suspicious circumstances present him with a riddle that he will need all his experience to solve.

Set on the exotic island of Ceylon (modern Sri Lanka) in the 1930s, Trouble in Nuala is an entertaining and absorbing mystery spiced with humor and a colorful cast of characters.

What a lovely little story. I especially like the description of the area and scenery, and also of the characters featured. I will go on to read the rest of the series.

Having spent time in Sri Lanka in the 70's these novels have a special meaning as I can picture so many of the cities and towns and the feeling of heat and then the relief at being in the hill towns. The stories are intriguing and the characters interesting.
