    Sicily’s people through the X Ray
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 9, 2020*

I have been in Sicily . To prepare my trip I start read ing a few books: 3 fantastic ones by Norwich, two tourist guides, one book from Jaqueline Alio, two about mosaics of the Norman times. During my trip I read these three books of Camilieri.. More history and sociology than the supposed criminal novel. Inspector Montalbano shares the communists of the early thirties wrong perception of themselves : that they are heroes , that they could shape the things as they like, that they are above the law. Personally he do not show a minimum of emotional inteligence , is a tipical  “ macho man”, proud of himself , conceited , treats subordinates in a deplorable fashion. He is not corrupt neither a man with a normal relationship with woman or other men. Kind of a half monk lost in the middle of a permanent bachanal, probably modelled by Camilieri after a mix of a gourmand ( a typical gauche caviar) and Robin Wood. BUT : These 3 books make me understand Sicily more than all the others together.As you see I have mixed feelings about the quality. Aniway I bought a box with the 18 first novels of Camilieri / Montalbano. It is the real thing!

    Well written series: an intelligent protagonist & sense of place
  

*by S***F on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 6, 2020*

I read the first three books by Camilleri (in one volume) and just bought the next seven (which came in a set of ten so I have doubles of the first three). While these are more typical police procedural mysteries - Montalbano is a police inspector in a small Sicily town - these are well written.  The inspector is a bit of a Sherlock Holmes, but you get a great sense of Sicilian life and politics.  The author writes well and makes Montalbano thoughtful, although emotional too.  It is interesting seeing how a Sicilian thinks and lives; I trust it is somewhat true to life given that Camilleri was Italian.  Montalbano is fun to watch in action.  He's smart and does his level best to maintain his life style despite the failures of those around him and the efforts of his superiors to promote him.  He also loves food and your mouth sometimes starts to water from the food descriptions.  I've went to Sicily long ago. I wish I had read these before and during that trip.

    It grows on you
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 11, 2019*

Having just completed my third reread of the entire canon of the fictional detective from Montenegro, I felt it would be amusing to investigate the fictional detective Montalbano.  I only heard of these books through a magazine article at the doctor's office!  Anyway, before reading them I did not know whether they were originally written in English or in Italian.  I found the first book to be awfully heavy, and it had that somewhat clumsy "obviously translated from a foreign language" feel.  But I liked the characterizations, even though most of the cultural references flew right over my head, and kept reading, and by the end of the third book I was thoroughly charmed and immediately bought the next three.  They still do have that slightly clumsy feel, and most of the cultural references still do escape me, but these are not always particularly a problem.  In any case the appendix notes help to explain some of it.  I am particularly fond of Catarella, who is such a dope!  I'll keep buying them and reading them.
