Excursion to Tindari Audiobook

" An aged mother and father disappear on a day trip to a local city and a young man living well above his means is murdered outside the building in which they both live. Inspector Montalbano is asked to get involved as the responsible police team is laid up. Using his intuition, Salvo and his odd team once again marshall forces to find how the two parties are related. Meantime, an aging mafioso tries to involve Salvo in "family" matters. "

" very good. Listened on audio the reader is phenomenal. Witty and fun. Montalbano is a hoot. "

" The ending was unsatisfying. "

" Couldn't stop reading it! There was mystery, fun, art and passion in this book. I love Montalbano stories, and Andrea Camilleri's writing! "

" Great fun reading this series. Keep the stories coming. "

" Camilleri deals with the Mafia in this one, compensating for the violence and brutality with even more outrageous humor and food fetishism. Very enjoyable. "

" A wonderful addition to this series. Good characters and atmosphere. The descriptions of Italian food make me hungry. "

" I like these deceptively simple Italian (Sicilian!) mysteries. Not challenging, but enough substance and detail to add to the plot, and the writing (in translation) is well done. "

" No one writes an Italian mystery like Camilleri. Always a good read. "

" another wonderful novel by camilleri! they seem to be getting better every time. this one was especially scary since the danger was so subtle. like, it was sneaking up on you from behind. me loves! "

" Bizarre coincidences and what the mafia controls "

" A really good mystery and so well translated from the Italian. "

" A good fun read. I enjoyed the humour and the characters. "

" Number 5 in the series. I love the Sicilian food references. Plus the author gains greater command of his characters personalities with each new book. "

" The kind of book I read in one night over and over and over again. Perfect beach book. "

" Contemprorary Italian mystery writer with humor "

" Really enjoyed it once I got into it. Needed to see an episode of the TV series first (not the same one) to understand the Sicilian mood/pace. Once I did, it was great and I've read (and will read) more! "

" I find that I enjoy these more when I pick up the book consistently. Otherwise, I lose track of where the story is headed and who's who. Once I got into this one again, the pages turned more quickly. "

" Excellent start to finish... "

" It was too easy to compare this author to Dibdin - Italian detective novel and all. Maybe the translation was horrible but the writing was so choppy, especially in the dialogue. Lots of humor though and now I get that Dibdin (as a non-Italian) was not really being critical. "

" Another wonderful example of Sicilian justice and a smart Inspector who knows the ends and outs of the politics of his country. "

" This was the best one yet. I love Montalbano!! "

" il mio primo camilleri. meglio tardi che mai. "

" Humorous picture of Sicily and a good mystery. "

" Another wonderful example of Sicilian justice and a smart Inspector who knows the ends and outs of the politics of his country. "

" Andrea Camilleri is always fun to read and in this volume there are some hilarious passages. But the Montalbano stories are not froth, they have a depth to them that lifts them far out of the ordinary. Thats why I read them from start to finish every so often. "

" Contemprorary Italian mystery writer with humor "

" Slightly weaker than Voice of the Violin, but still worthwhile. Characters continue to evolve, and Montalbano is almost likable. Almost. I wish the main text had markers where there's an explanatory footnote. They're a great feature; I wish more translators included them. "
