Another witty and charming novel from Camilleri. There are several mysteries in this novel all seemingly linked and allowing the author to cover all sorts of subject matter entrenched in the history of Sicily, as well as his mention of several dishes of delicious sounding food. This is the second in the series and we do recommend you read them in order.
