For this week's Can't Wait Wednesday hosted by Tressa at the book blog, Wishful Endings, I'm featuring, A Curse in Nuala by Harriet Steel. I love this series and need to get back to it. Inspector de Silva is a great character and the setting of 1930's Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, makes it one of a kind. If you love mysteries with unique settings, a bit of a dark side, and a strong male lead you can't pass these up.
Hope you have found something you can't wait for! Happy reading ya'll!

Ceylon has gained its independence from Britain and Inspector Shanti de Silva is adjusting to his new boss, Police Commissioner Fernando, who much to Shanti’s annoyance hints that he doesn’t have enough to do. Fernando is soon proved wrong when a deposed Indian maharajah who has come to live at the former Residence is murdered, and the Star of Ceylon, a priceless sapphire from his royal collection, is stolen. The jewel is reputed to be cursed and when more suspicious deaths occur, fears that supernatural forces are at work mount. With his wife Jane’s help, can Shanti break the spell and prove his worth to Fernando?
