The Smell of the Night by Andrea Camilleri
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Another enjoyable Camilleri mystery. This one touches all the personal plot points from earlier books, such as the girlfriend, the nearly adopted son, the food,… We also find Montalbano, angry at the loss of a favorite olive tree, committing some serious vandalism to a house being built (including some strangely out of place and not further mentioned Disney statuary). Nice to see again that he’s human. The audio has the various policemen narrated in comic, “New Yark” accents that work better in cartoons. The extra “comic relief” the voices provided were not appreciated by me. I think the story stands well without the 40s movie wise guy talk.
