Oh good old Inspector Montalbano. Just the man for a good old holiday read. Irascible, greedy, but highly intelliigent and with a great team of side-kicks: fellow-detective Mimi, consciencious gopher Fazio, Montalbano's adventures are real page-turners. This time we have the murder of an Eastern European girl, a kidnapping that wasn't a kidnapping, and a shady lot of successful businessmen masquerading as devout and caring Catholics. A good yarn, but one which Montalbano's long-suffering girlfriend Livia does not seem to appreciate....
