Excursion to Tindari: An Inspector Montalbano Mystery
In this, we find Montalbano trying to keep one member of his team where he belong, trying to out smart (not hard to do) his boss, figuring out why a young man was killed with a bullet in the head and where an old couple ended up after vanishing from an bus excursion to Tindari. We have old mafia, new mafia, a young man that wrote burning love letters, had a collection of porno tapes and left an on going novel on his computer and an old couple who vanishes without a trace. Is everything connected or is it all just coincidences? Montalbano doesn't believe in coincidences. This is as good as The Shape of Water. The plot is solid, the character development is there for Montalbano and his crew. I'm warming up to Mimi and that poor policeman who loves computers, answers the phone but is cursed with not being able to communicate properly. A good, solid novel.
