I adore the Montalbano series, but this one isn’t one of my favourites.

Opening a new Montalbano book feels like returning home. I have come to love the characters and Camilleri’s writing is incredible. The descriptions of food always make me feel so hungry!

However, I was really enjoying this book until the last couple of chapters. The end to the case seemed rushed and has actually left me feeling a little frustrated and confused. I am hoping that the next book has a case that grips me all the way through and has a plot twist before the end, as I usually expect this from the Montalbano series. I close this book feeling slightly unsatisfied, but hopeful for what is to come!
