Publisher's Summary

Audie Award, Mystery, 2009

Montalbano's gruesome discovery of a lovely, naked young woman suffocated in her bed immediately sets him on a search for her killer. Among the suspects are her aging husband, a famous doctor; a shy admirer, now disappeared; an antiques-dealing lover from Bologna; and the victim's friend Anna, whose charms Montalbano cannot help but appreciate. But it is a reclusive violinist who holds the key to the murder.

Montalbano does not disappoint, bringing his compelling mix of humor, cynicism, compassion, and love of good food to solve another riveting mystery.

Not for Brunetti Fans

This series reads more like a 1950's detective genre. While set in Sicily, there is little Italian flavor except during meal times. There are a number of dated expressions and attitudes and even the translation is awkward. The inspector puts on his safety belt in the car and uses his pick locks. Most annoying is a minor character at the police station who speaks exactly like a caricature of a New York thug. Very off putting to say the least.
