I found this series on my trial period for Kindle Unlimited and found it delightful. SPL doesn't carry it and you only have several of the audio books. The book is the first of a series set in Ceylon the early 1930s. Inspector Shanti de Silva in the new chief of police and recently has married a British former governess named Jane. The British are still in control. I encourage you to get a few more books in the series .I found this series on my trial period for Kindle Unlimited and found it delightful.

My grandson read this book this spring for 6th grade. His whole class read it and discussed it, so I decided to read it too. It's a very powerful book written from the point of view of a young girl, around 12, telling when Japan occupied Korea, forced people to adopt Korean names, and live according to the Japanese mandates.My grandson read this book this spring for 6th grade.

Though this book is aimed at teens, I've enjoyed the series. In the past I read the ebook, especially through COVID.
This time I listened to the audiobook, and I really enjoyed it.
The reader did a nice job of representing the parts of the characters in the book.
This book was written in 2011 and a sequel has come out this year:
Enola Holmes and the Mark of the Mongoose
For those who have not read the series, the main character is the much younger (14-year-old) sister of Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes, Enola Holmes. Her first named spelled backwards is "alone." Her mother leaves her and she flees home to not be sent by her brother Mycroft to a finishing school. It's quite a story!Though this book is aimed at teens, I've enjoyed the series.

I was fascinated by the search of the writer (a Christian) to find/if any her Jewish roots. Since her last name was Carvajal, a common last name of Jews who had been expelled from Spain or who were forced to convert/hid their Judaism, the author had a strong feeling that she had Jewish roots. She also hoped to understand how much her mother had wanted a granddaughter.
The store was winding and long so it interested me less and I would have appreciated that the first 2/3rds of the book be shortened, but it was a compelling read to find out the end result.I was fascinated by the search of the writer (a Christian) to find/if any her Jewish roots.

But it turns out that he gathers girls to go to (South) America--Buenos Aires--to be a virtual slave as a prostitute. In spite of the harsh reality, she hopes to bring her family to America.
Over 150,000 Jewish women were forced to become prostitutes in the late 1890s into the early 1900s.
There are some Yiddish terms in the book. I understood them but it is not difficult to look them up.This historical fiction book tells the story of a 4-year-old girl after a program, is to be married by a man from America.

I've read the 2nd and 3rd book in this series. This is the third and I found it depressing and a bit confusing to follow.... It all pulled together too quickly in the end. There seems to be less emphasis on the forensics' job and more on relationships.I've read the 2nd and 3rd book in this series.
