The Shape of Water (Inspector Montalbano Mysteries) 47 reviews
Andrea Camilleri
Blackstone Audio Inc., 2006
Terrific
I love this series. Inspector Montalbano is a man you want to spend time with. So this book enables us to follow him around Sicily and eavesdrop on his conversations and ruminations. Highly entertaining. Once started, Camilleri's novels are hard to put down.

The Paper Moon (Inspector Montalbano Mysteries) 12 reviews
Andrea Camilleri
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2008
Subtle Sicilian delight
This was an excellent book, and one for any fan of Donna Leon's Commissario Brunetti mysteries. The author creates a vivid picture of Sicily and develops the plot and characters with singlar style and humor. Reading the book made me want to check out the author's other works in the Inspector Montalbano series.

The Charm of Inspector Montalbano
I enjoy the t.v. series made in Italy and available here in Code 4 DVD, so much that I must have my Montalbano fix often. I read the novels that are so popular here and in Italy, and listen to the audio CD's like this one, Smell of the Night, which should have been titled: Scent of the Night because Vigata is on the sea and the fragrances of sea, salt, olive blossoms and basil, can become ...

The Excursion To Tindari: An Inspector Montalbano Mystery20 reviews
Andrea Camilleri
Wheeler Publishing, 2005
Exquisite Mysteries, Little Personal Plots, Tiny Pleasures, and Sardonic Humor
Excursion to Tindari has some of the best humor based on human elimination since Rabelais. Who else but Andrea Camilleri would indulge his character development in such an imaginative and earthy way?
An ongoing theme in the book is the troubled nature of love between men and women. You will find the exposition to provide much room for chuckles and smiles.
The mysteries are subtle and ...
