Inspector de Silva is on audio!

November has been an exciting month for me as the first of the Inspector de Silva Mysteries series to be published by the American audio publisher, Tantor, was released this week.




 I'm delighted with the result and feel very privileged that an actor of the calibre of Matthew Lloyd Davis is the narrator. It's been a fascinating experience hearing him bring my characters to life. As well as narrating audiobooks, Matthew is a director and actor who has made regular appearances with the Royal Shakespeare Company, the National Theatre, and in London's West End.




So, if you're looking for ideas for Xmas presents,or just want to treat yourself, a good cozy mystery might be the answer! Amazon usually make audiobooks extra appealing with a generous discount if you already have the Kindle version. As a recent convert to Audible, I'd forgotten how relaxing it is to be read to. Once one gets to adulthood, it's a rare thing, and Matthew has the trick of making it seem as if he's reading the book just for you.
The next two books in the series will be out on audio by the end of the year.

    I know you must be thrilled to have the de Silva series go audio! What a treat for fans of Nuala to look forward to! I am enchanted by this set of stories. Not knowing how a writer could ever keep a series going up to 18 volumes as Alexander McCall Smith has done with Mma Ramotswe, I urge you Mrs. Steel to give it your best effort. I am ready to read any adventures Shanti, Jane, Prasana and the others come upon. :))

    Was Venu stabbed or shot? The story is inconsistent but otherwise great.

    It seems "Trouble in Nuala / The Inspector de Silva Mysteries Book 1" is not available in .epub format so far - are there any plans to change this? Thank you!

      I’m afraid it’s only available on Kindle as Amazon requires authors to have an exclusive deal if they want their books to be available for subscribers to the Kindle Unlimited package. If you don’t have a Kindle, it is possible to download the free Kindle ap for an iPad and read that way. I actually prefer it as the screen is a bit larger. I’m not sure is the same can be done with a smartphone but I see no reason why not. I hope this helps. Best wishes, Harriet
