Commissario Montalbano

review 1: 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....
review 2: summary: Food, love, and murder-Sicilian style-in the gripping eleventh installment of The New York Times bestselling Montalbano mystery series. Things are not going well for Inspector Salvo Montalbano. His relation... moreship with Livia is once again on the rocks and-acutely aware of his age-he is beginning to grow weary of the endless violence he encounters. Then a young woman is found dead, her face half shot off and only a tattoo of a sphinx moth giving any hint of her identity. The tattoo links her to three similarly marked girls-all victims of the underworld sex trade-who have been rescued from the Mafia night-club circuit by a prominent Catholic charity. The problem is, Montalbano's inquiries elicit an outcry from the Church and the three other girls are all missing. less
