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.

Nicely narrated and written but plot was straight forward and was too predictable for me

A rather irritating reading sounding rather dull and bored. I think the story was OK rather than really clever. The period setting was only briefly described.

An interesting new murder mystery novel. Very good range of characters and the reader was excellent.

A lovely gentle thriller with shades of Ms Christy.
It brought lovely memories of Ceylon and my time there. I loved the narrators portrayal of late Raj types, their customs and accents. Whodunnit was not much of a mystery, but it didn’t need to be. I’m a new convert to Leslie Wolfe’s work and look forward to more books.

Very enjoyable!

So glad I found this in thePlus catalogue.
Delightful .The descriptions of Ceylon as it was in 1930’s, conjured up a bygone era, some of it good and some not so good.
The narrator was excellent. He managed all the different accents brilliantly.
I have already downloaded the next two books,also on Plus,so free.

Easy listening

I really enjoyed this story. I came across it in the sale, and found it a refreshing change to standard detective stories. I am looking forward to listening to more in this collection. The plot is easy to work out, but the description of the beautiful country and the characters are a real joy.

This was a charming read, a gentle mystery that was beautifully narrated by Matthew Lloyd Davies. I especially enjoyed the Da Silva's relationship. I'm off to download the next one.

Light and refreshing. Easy listening, no gory descriptions for a murder mystery. Quite entertaining.

Colonial Ceylon.

Short book but a great story and brilliant narration. The setting is very alive although possibly a little romantic about the time in question. Still, the characters grow and the feeling is that the book is one of a series.
