The Patience of the Spider (Inspector Montalbano Mysteries)
I love this series. We rejoin Montalbano 2 weeks after the event of Rounding the Mark. On leave after being shot, Montalbano is dragged back to work after a young woman is kidnapped. Kidnapping in Sicily is a business, with its traditions and its rules. Montalbano watches has time grows short and nothing is really what it seems. All the usual supporting characters are there, my favorite Catarella has a few good scenes, Livia is a big part of this novel. The romantic, domestic relationship between Livia and Montalbano comes to a breaking point. Nice touches of characters development, a portrait how to manipulate a community and as always description of food like you wouldn't believe.
