review 1: This is the first book I have read by Montalban. Having almost completed the Andrea Camilleri series featuring Inspector Montalbano I was curious to read the writer who had inspired Camilleri enough to name his chief character in honour of Montalban. The parallels between the two are obvious, if you like the Inspector Montalbano series you arelikely to like the works featuring Montalban's Pepe Carvalho. Less whimsical the Montalbano but similarly quirky with plenty of references to their mutual obsession with food; they both provide a clear political context for the issues raised in their plots. I look forward to reading more of Montalban's books.
review 2: This is my first encounter with Montalban, I am planning a trip to Barcelona and was looking for a no... morevel set in Barcelona. This is a fascinating mystery novel involving an unusual detective, Pepe Carvalho..it's a political book, a sociological tract, a funny take on the world, and a meditation on cooking...I like this guy and his books though I am not yet sure how to describe the 'genre'. More thoughts later as I have another to read. less
