an amusing easy listen

these are pleasant little stories you can enjoy in your down time. the narration is really very good and brings the book to life

Enjoyable story.

I enjoyed this book. The leading characters are pleasant people with a happy comfortable marriage. This was a nice change where too many people had problems and were disruptive to everyone around them. The story, set in Ceylon, kept my interest. I have already listened to 3 of this series and look forward to the fourth.

3rd Nuala installment not very good

This 3rd installment of Inspector de Silva in Nuala series was quite boring whodunit story and not as charming with period colonial details compared to 1st and 2nd outings. I only read this about half way and gave up. I recommend you read the first two in the series that were quite good, but skip this one. Also some of the voices from the narrator were rather exaggerated and annoying here, while they were better in the earlier outings.
