I really liked the characters and the location. It took place during a gentler time without all the cruelty and violence that defines far too much of the books we see being published now. There is more than enough violence surrounding us today without having our escape to the land of books filled with it.\" Puzzler \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLoving this super series\"\u003cbr\u003eI can imagine sitting out on the veranda sipping iced tea in the sweltering heat but with a constant reminder of the wilder side of Ceylon just over the other side of the high garden fence. Just stunning!\" Books from Dusk till Dawn \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMust read police procedural set in pre-war Sri Lanka\/Ceylon\u003cbr\u003e\"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 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLayers upon Layers\u003cbr\u003e\"I don't remember how, exactly, I came upon the Nuala books, but just an hour ago I finished a binge read of all four of them. I love a well-written mystery, and these don't disappoint with their frequent literary allusions, interesting characters, and realistic sets of interpersonal challenges and conflicts.... There's always a new thread to be pulled, and all kinds of insights and events result from each pulling. These are absorbing stories, and I hope there will be more of them.\" Julie M.
