Christmas in Nuala (The Inspector de Silva Mysteries Book 5)
By Harriet Steel
It’s Christmas time and the little town of Nuala in the beautiful tea country of colonial Ceylon is full of good cheer.
Until murder overshadows the festivities.
The mystery he needs to solve baffles Inspector de Silva. It’s just as well he has his English wife Jane to support him in his race to unmask the villain and save an endangered romance.
If you love vintage-style mysteries, spiced with colourful characters and a dash of humour, don’t miss the Inspector de Silva series.
Christmas in Nuala was originally published as a Kindle Short Read but is now available in paperback as part of book 11 in the series, Break from Nuala.
“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
“I started reading this series after a quick trip to Sri Lanka. Now I am hooked and read them as fast as they come out. Even if you have never been to Sri Lanka these books evoke an interesting period in history and the low-tech state of forensics in the 1930’s. The clash of cultures is interesting as well. I can’t say enough good things about this series.” S.Smith
