Summary

Summary

Winner of the Audie Award for Best Mystery Narration

Winner of an AudioFile Earphones Award

Inspector Montalbano’s gruesome discovery of the body 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. But it is a reclusive violinist who holds the key to the murder.

Montalbano does not disappoint, bringing his compelling mix of humor, cynicism, compassion, and love of good food to solve another riveting mystery.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Grover Gardner doesn’t waste time on Italian accents, instead providing personal touches and quirky behaviors to Camilleri’s many honest character portraits. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” AudioFile
“Camilleri continues to mix procedural detail with personal drama—Montalbano’s tenuous relationship with his lover and his attraction to one of the witnesses in the case—in ways that add depth to both the characters and the drama. If you like the Italian crime novel, you’ll love this series.” Booklist
“Camilleri once again thrills with his fluid storytelling and quirky characters...the author has increased the stakes for Salvo’s career and the amount of maverick behavior. Through this deft translation, Camilleri’s tale of lust, greed and hidden beauty should win new American readers.” Publishers Weekly
“The novels of Andrea Camilleri breathe out the sense of place, the sense of humour, and the sense of despair that fills the air of Sicily. To read him is to be taken to that glorious, tortured island.” Donna Leon, New York Times bestselling author
