The Patience of the Spider: An Inspector Montalbano Mystery Audiobook

" A pretty odd story this time. I did not like it as much I have liked the earlier books. But still I like Montalbano :-) "

" The latest in a marvelous series set in Sicily. Wonderfully written, as well as translated, all of them are so 'Italian' I feel sun-drenched for days. The mystery plots aren't bad, either. "

" Liked this more than 'The Shape of Water'. "

" i am addicted to these inspector montalbano murder mysteries. great summer reading, i am now on number eight "

" Story wasn't the best but always lifts my mood reading a Montalbano "

" As a mystery, not much of a puzzle. As a depiction of Sicilian and Italian society, both insightful and entertaining. The translator's rendition of some characters' speech patterns, apparently meant to reflect dialect, did strike me as wrongheaded and rubbed me the wrong way. "

" Contemporary Italian mystery writer with humor "

" Good characterizations and minimal violence. "

" This is the first Inspector Maltobano book by Camilleri I've read in several years. I enjoy the way that the author takes the reader down different paths, slowly revealing the different characters. I was able to discern clues to the ending early on without being too obvious. "

" Another great Camilleri. The plot is pretty simple, but the characters and the portrait of Sicily are great. A continuing pleasure. "

" Very good, Montalbano again ! "

" Easy to solve, but that's not really what these books are about. They're about the characters and the region and, of course, the food. "

" Witty, entertaining, and easy to read. "

" A very straightforward, and at times chuckle-worthy, detective story. I enjoyed the sprinkling of Sicilian flavor. "

" italian detective feels up women and smokes while figuring it out. "

" As Montalbano novels go, this is a particularly pleasant read. For those of us who still haven't figured out what he finds in Livia, this is an interesting one, too, as she is there in Marinella with him during much of the book. The case is nicely woven and the ending satisfactorily montalbanoesque. "

" I am still enjoying this series of mysteries. However, Salbu's girlfriend Olivia is increasingly annoying, and since she is down to Sicily for this entire book, this may have been my least favorite book in the series so far. Break up with her already! "

" Another quick enjoyable read. Coming near the end of the series-what will I do? "

" Un classico di Montalbano, il delitto è un pretesto per l'esplorazione dei personaggi. Da gustare. "

" fine, nothing special but an ok read "

" Witty, entertaining, and easy to read. "

" The best of the series so far. Inspector Montalbano grows on you! Worth every minute of reading! "

" diverting mystery about an older Italian inspector putting together the threads of clues about a kidnapping "

" Another great Camilleri. The plot is pretty simple, but the characters and the portrait of Sicily are great. A continuing pleasure. "
