Excursion to Tindari by Andrea Camilleri
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Let’s see – intuitive detective (check), three or four different and simultaneous crimes merge (check), additional plot stories involving the detective’s personal life and co-workers (check), humor (and cussing, check), loving food references (check), issues with clueless bosses (check). Yes, this meets the criteria for a Montalbano book. I found this one a bit too coincidental for my liking, but I also found the non-mystery stories, the stories on the side, to be more interesting – I am starting to get a feel for the other police officers. And this one seemed to be funnier. That’s enough to make me want to read the next one.
