Voice of the Violin by Andrea Camilleri

Voice of the Violin by Andrea Camilleri

Carol February 7, 2019 Book Reviews2 Comments

It’s been a while since I listened to a Commissario Montalbano mystery, but Voice of the Violin was part of Audible’s 2-for-1 deal, so I picked it up. They’re always enjoyable, well-thought-out mysteries and I love the cast of characters. In Voice of the Violin a young woman has been …

The Dance of the Seagull by Andrea Camilleri

Carol August 9, 2017 Book ReviewsLeave a comment

I’m not sure how many Montalbano mysteries I’ve listened to/read now. They start to run together a little. This one opens with a seagull dying on a beach. This scene comes back later as a kind of vision that helps Montalbano solve the case – which is odd and doesn’t …

A Voice in the Night by Andrea Camilleri

Carol July 28, 2017 Book Reviews3 Comments

I’ve read/listened to several Montalbano mysteries. In A Voice in the Night we’ve got several of the series standards – corrupt politicians, police who are being pressured for certain results,  good food. Montalbano is a good cop, in that he’s not in the mafia’s pocket and is not afraid to …

The Patience of the Spider by Andrea Camilleri

Carol February 3, 2017 Book Reviews2 Comments

This is the second Montalbano mystery I’ve listened to in a row. To some extent, I could just copy the review from the last, Game of Mirrors; Montalbano and his circle just don’t change that much from book to book. For the most part, it’s only the plots that vary. But they’re …

Game of Mirrors by Andrea Camilleri

Carol January 27, 2017 Book ReviewsOne Comment

I’ve read/listened to several of the Montalbano mysteries over the years. It’s a series I know what to expect from. The main characters don’t change much over the years and the food always sounds delicious. For me, this is one of the series I turn to when I want something …

The Terra-Cotta Dog by Andrea Camilleri

Carol September 16, 2016 Book ReviewsLeave a comment

I’ve been reading the Commissario Montalbano out-of-order over the last few years. I enjoy them but not enough to go out of my way to read them. Most I’ve picked up on audio from the library when they’ve been available. I like Montalbano. He’s amusing in a crass way. He’s as …
