The Paper Moon - Andrea Camilleri

The Snack Thief - Andrea Camilleri

I discovered Andrea Camilleri and his Inspector Montalbano at a reading group last year and I have been trying to read all his novels in sequence. I was getting through them (and enjoying them thoroughly) until the middle of The Snack Thief when I abruptly hit a wall and couldn t finish it. I tried twice after that but I always got stuck at the same point. I generally read three books simultaneously - one is kept in the loo, one at my bedside and one in my work bag to read on my commute to and from work. This one was my bedside read and I seemed to fall asleep everytime I thought about picking it up! Two days ago I put it in my work bag and hey presto - I devoured it in ...

Excursion to Tindari - Andrea Camilleri

of European crime fiction over the last five years, which has given me the opportunity to read a selection of work that I wouldn t usually be able to understand. Andrea Camilleri is one of the better known authors to have hit Britain s bookshops, with works such as The Shape of Water and The Terracotta Dog. Based in a small town in Sicily, the books are full of the colourful flavour of the area - including the less wholesome side. Salvo Montalbano is the chief of a small team of detectives, amongst whom he commands great respect. He is a typical detective in that he is a bit of a loner, but he does have a more human side than some - he does at least have a girlfriend, ...

The Shape of Water - Andrea Camilleri

ve taken to going to my local library and picking names of foreign authors at random; this time, I came home with this book, originally published in 1994, by Andrea Camilleri, of whose name I ve vaguely heard. The story is set in Sicily, which is a new setting for me. I particularly enjoy reading police procedurals set in other countries; it is refreshing to see how different police forces work - at least in fiction. The author Andrea Camilleri is one of Italy s most famous modern writers. He lives in Italy. His books have now been translated into nine languages and have reached the bestseller lists in Italy and Germany. All the books from the Inspector Montalbano ...
