Journal Entry 1 by wingengelsmanwing from Leiden, Zuid-Holland Netherlands on Wednesday, June 24, 2015
The commissioner kept looking at him with an expression that combined contempt and commiseration, apparently discerning unmistakable signs of senile dementia in the inspector.
"I'm going to speak very frankly, Montalbano. I don't have a very high opinion of you."
"Nor I of you," the inspector replied bluntly.

Montalbano's gruesome discovery of a naked young woman suffocated in her bed immediately sets him on a search for her killer. Among the suspects are her ageing husband, a famous doctor; a shy admirer, now disappeared; an antiques-dealing lover from Bologna; and the victim's friend Anna, whose charms Montalbano cannot help but appreciate. But it is a mysterious reclusive violinist who holds the key to this murder . . .


We got hooked on the television version with Luca Zingaretti being shown on BBC4 with English subtitles, so when I saw the book, I coudn't resist. Lots of things are explained as Montalbano's thoughts or as endnotes to the text, that don't make sense to non-Italians on the TV programme.
