A young Don Juan is found murdered in front of his apartment building early one morning, and an elderly couple is reported missing after an excursion to the ancient site of Tindari - two seemingly unrelated cases for Inspector Montalbano to solve amid the daily complications of life at Vigàta police headquarters.

EadieB But when Montalbano discovers that the couple and the murdered young man lived in the same building, his investigation stumbles onto Sicily's brutal 'New Mafia', which leads him down a path more evil and more far-reaching than any he has been down before.
The fifth in the hit Italian crime series, Excursion to Tindari is another darkly comic detective story featuring Inspector Montalbano. 1y

Andrew65 You are ploughing through these. 🎄🎄🎄 1y

EadieB Camilleri deals with the Mafia in this one but it is the new mafia not following the old rules. There is mystery and humor in this book along with snappy dialogue. I look forward to reading the sixth book in the series. The Scent of Night. If you love books of police procedural with laughter, then you would love these books. 1y

Montalbano's gruesome discovery of a lovely, naked young woman suffocated in her bed immediately sets him on a search for her killer. Among the suspects are her aging husband, a famous doctor; a shy admirer, now disappeared; an antiques-dealing lover from Bologna; and the victim's friend Anna, whose charms Montalbano cannot help but appreciate.

EadieB But it is a mysterious, reclusive violinist who holds the key to this murder. This is the fourth book in the Montalbano series. It is very humorous and entertaining as all his books. The characters are unique and the mysteries are ones that plots leave you wanting to read on. I‘m looking forward to reading the next book in the series and if you love mysteries that keep you guessing then you would love these books. 1y

Andrew65 Well done 🎻🎻🎻 1y

The Terracotta Dog | Andrea Camilleri

pick

#TheTerracottaDog #AndreaCamilleri #WinterReadathon

The Terracotta Dog, the second book in Andrea Camilleri's Inspector Montalbano series, opens with a mysterious tête-à-tête with a Mafioso, some inexplicably abandoned loot from a supermarket heist, and some dying words that lead Inspector Montalbano to a secret grotto in a mountain cave where two young lovers dead fifty years and still embracing are watched over by a life-size terracotta dog.

EadieB Montalbano's passion to solve this old crime takes him, heedless of personal danger, on a journey through the island's past and into a family's dark heart amid the horrors of World War II.
This one is better than the first book even though I gave the first book 5 stars. I loved this book. It was a great story and the characters were quite unique. The plot was good and trying to figure out who placed the bodies in the cave was interesting. 1y

EadieB I love Montalbano and all his humorous antics and phrases. The Terracotta Dog is followed by the third title in this satirical and humorous series, The Snack Thief. I am really looking forward to the next installment. If you love humor with mystery then you will love these books. 1y

EadieB The coroner‘s verdict is that he died from natural causes that Salvo immediately discounts. The plot begins to unravel and I am quickly reading until the very end. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series, The Terracotta Dog. Andrea Camilleri writes with humor that creates a funny police procedural. If you love humor with mystery then you would love these books. 1y

DieAReader Sounds like you‘re in the mood for a binge😉🤓📚Great job!🎄 1y

The Paper Moon | Andrea Camilleri

"Those eyes were exactly like a deep, violet lake that any man would gladly dive into and drown. It was a good thing Signorina Michela almost always kept them lowered
In his mind, Montalbano took two strokes and swam back to shore."
