Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“The wonderfully rendered camaraderie between Catarella and Montalbano is one of the book’s highlights. In addition to searching for the missing Fazio, Montalbano tries to identify a body found in a deserted well. Both investigations are pieces of a larger, satisfying mystery.” —Publishers Weekly
“This is the fifteenth book in Camilleri’s Inspector Montalbano series about a Sicilian police inspector, his comrades and lovers, and the eccentric characters and deadly Mafiosi who commit the crimes he investigates…Grover Gardner remains a master of audiobook narration. His clear, warm voice and perfectly regulated cadence make almost any book feel like a story told by an old friend. The crimes Montalbano investigates are horrific. Despite that, Camilleri’s regular references to delicious Italian dishes will make listeners’ mouths water.” —AudioFile
“The charm of a Montalbano mystery derives in large part from the way the inspector’s helter-skelter approach to investigation mirrors the inherent messiness of life…By the time Montalbano climbs out of the muck this time, he’s a bit more battered than usual, but that’s nothing a very large bowl of caponata won’t fix.” —Booklist
“Montalbano’s fifteenth case features more hilarious bark and some satisfying bite.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Grover Gardner’s narration is, as always, outstanding. His Montalbano captures his charm, intelligence, grit, and, of course, his love for everything Sicilian, especially the food, his colleagues, and Livia. Gardner’s voices for Augello and Catarella are, simply, amazingly accurate to Camilleri’s text. This entire series is a gem that listeners will want to keep around to listen to again, especially during a cold winter…Stephen Sartarelli’s translation is simply a marvel.” —SoundCommentary.com
