In the opening book of this series set in the 1930s among the rolling green hills of colonial Ceylon, Inspector Shanti de Silva is not finding life in his new post in the sleepy town of Nuala as restful as he had hoped. An arrogant plantation owner with a lonely wife, a crusading lawyer, and a death in suspicious circumstances conspire to present him with a puzzle that he will need all his experience to solve and prove his worth to his new boss. If you love traditional-style mysteries, spiced with colourful characters and a dash of humour, don’t miss The Inspector de Silva Mysteries.

Becoming Lola is the extraordinary, true story of a remarkable woman. Hell-bent on wringing every drop of excitement from life and love, Lola Montez, the 19th century’s most notorious adventuress, refused to be hampered by the conventions of her day, whatever the cost. Reputed to have taken hundreds of lovers, including the King of Bavaria and the composer, Franz Liszt, she was a dancer, an actress, an intrepid traveller and a business woman. In her short life, she blazed like a firecracker through the courts and capitals of Europe, becoming the second most famous woman in the western world after Queen Victoria.
