Genre - Mystery
This is a quaint little book, not in the least bit like a murder mystery and is very sensitively written. The author who is also known for one of his previous books, ‘The Potters Field’, is an Italian and the book has been translated into many languages. However, the main character Inspector Montalbano seems to be a middle-aged bumbling person and at times unsure of circumstances that eventuate. This is not the case, but he argues with his mind and soul and in a very Italian way, which in English is a roundabout way of beating around the bush and not getting to the point. With his flourishment, and those that serve under him in their broken English it has a lot of humour which I think is not intended. Overall a delightful read from an Italian’s point of view.
