This is the first in Andrea Camilleri’s series featuring Inspector Salvo Montalbano. The usual trend for fast paced, edgy, gruesome crime novels, is not quite Camilleri’s style, he brings a slower pace to his stories, soaking up the sights and sounds of Sicily and bringing a gentle humour in to the story lines. Saying that this is still an intriguing and brilliant crime thriller and the beginning of a fantastic series with a highly likable leading character.
