"I liked this mystery, but I wish I read the book as opposed to listening to the audio tape. The characters seem to have been "Americanized" in the audiobook, with one having an almost stereotypical NY Italian accent. This seemed a bit jarring considering the mystery takes place in Sicily. That aside, I enjoyed the mystery. It was light and comedic at times, but also had some twists and turns. Inspector Montalbano kind of reminds me of an Italian Morse."
"love these books, wish there were more. listened to audio - the voice of the reader makes it so enjoyable - i dont know if the humor would have been so recognizable - if the book is as funny - the translation must have been exquisite."
"I don't know that I'd say this is my favourite Camilleri book. I enjoyed it a lot, and the plot was very interesting, however I noticed some subtle differences in the translating style which felt jarring at times.
I love the character of Montalbano, although in this book he was a lot more cantankerous and volatile than he has been in any other book, or even in the movies. He's often downright rude to his officers, and more abusive than necessary I think."
