The characters are believable especially the intelligent Inspector de Silva. And the plot is well paced. This series will brighten and sweeten any day. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An enjoyable historical mystery series *by C***E on April 22, 2019* After having read the first book in the series, Trouble in Nuala, I looked forward to reading the second entry. I was not disappointed. I enjoy the relationship between the biracial couple of de Silva and his wife Jane. They met and married later in life, and not only are they deeply in love, but de Silva also values Jane's opinions on all sorts of subjects. It doesn't hurt that Jane is an Agatha Christie fan so she can provide some help in solving her husband's mysteries.Set in the 1930s, Steel's series shows some of the problems and culture clashes of colonial-era Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). In Dark Clouds Over Nuala, these problems mainly consist of native-born de Silva circumventing the British Old Boys Network in order to solve a crime involving a prominent British family. The mystery is a convoluted one, but I recently watched an episode of Miss Marple that helped me find my way through all the clues. (No, I won't tell you the episode!)The author does an excellent job of providing enough background in each book so readers won't feel lost if they pick up a volume in the middle. This also helps if a reader just wants to sample and not to commit to the entire series. Steel's books satisfy on several levels: characterization, mystery, and the food and culture of Sri Lanka in the 1930s. I'll be coming back for more, and-- if you sample one of Inspector de Silva's mysteries-- chances are that you will be, too. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love this series, and look forward to reading every book. *by E***A on February 20, 2024* Although I have not been to Sri Lanka, I have been to India, and the series always brings back memories of the land and people in that part of the world. I like the loving relationship of the couple, and the acknowledgement and respect the inspector shows for his wife's intelligence and education. I have read criticisms of the reality expressed in the books of the times and the interrelations with the occupying English, but when read In sequence, the inspector does slowly earn respect, and I think that would have been possible. Prejudice even when rampant, does not infect everyone completely. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/66531199-dark-clouds-over-nuala-the-inspector-de-silva-mysteries-paperback](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/66531199-dark-clouds-over-nuala-the-inspector-de-silva-mysteries-paperback) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-21*
