Not every expert lives in a big city!

Inspector Da Silva lives in the country in a small town. But he is a sharp detective. He’s a happily married man with a smart and caring wife. The 1930s setting is picturesque and the story is peopled with very interesting characters. The British colony of Ceylon, the present Sri Lanka, is the location of all the action. The author’s descriptions stimulate the imagination. I love these 4 books. Wish there were more! Narrator is fantastic!!! Master of accents!

Book 4 is OK but not great

Book 4 in this series is OK, but not great. I found the series to be generally pleasant listening, with well formed period Ceylon settings, but the stories could be more interesting and dynamic. The writing quality is good, as is the narration.

Very entertaining

A very good addition to the series. Knew who did it fairly easily, but the how, and why, was fun to figure out.

Why is the inspector becoming so gullible?

It’s exasperating to see the inspector being so gullible in the face of crooks. He keeps falling for tricks over and over and over.
