The Terra-Cotta Dog: An Inspector Montalbano Mystery
Second book in Camilleri's fantastic series of commissary Montalbano. We find our hero still involve with intrigue and drama in Sicily where nothing is as it is elsewhere in Italy. Camilleri takes us on a trip of discovery of the way people in Sicily in small cities and village live, love and die. Old people, young people, mafia people and long forgotten buried secrets come to the light of day by chance. Having someone watched is never a simple task in Sicily and can have enormous consequences. Camilleri's Montalbano series is a wonderful escape into a society far removed from ours but still very close to our human self. The next title in the series : The Snack Thief is on hold at my library. Can't wait to read it.
