Angelica’s Smile was okay, but not outstanding. Of course, it probably didn’t help that I missed all the Orlando Furioso references, since I’d never heard of it, let alone read it. Once again, Montalbano falls in lust at first sight. Maybe it’s some kind of midlife crisis, he feeling old, she’s attractive, he decides cheating on his girlfriend is an option after all. Meh.
The burglaries themselves are rather interesting, although the criminal is contacting Montalbano directly, which happened in the last book I listened to in this series. Does that actually happen often in real life? I kinda doubt it.
The Sicily setting is fabulous and does often lead to some great food. And I like the general attitude, it’s amusing and clever.

In which Montalbano falls in lust with a lookalike for a heroine of an epic poem from his childhood. And maybe learns that he should pay more attention to Fazio's tedious information.

I enjoyed the book for the mystery although it was a bit lame as was the book really. I much prefer the tv series but pretty sure I’ll pick up another few of these books from time to time

I think I have grown out of Montolbano as I did not enjoy this as much as the earlier novels.

Credo proprio che Camilleri sia arrivato alla frutta. questi ultimi episodi di Montalbano mi sono sembrati proprio una minestra riscaldata. Le stesse situazioni, Catarella che strafalcia, Livia e Montalbano che litigano senza motivo e poi fanno la pace, e Montalbano che si innamora della bella di turno. È ora di mandare Montalbano in pensione......

Montalbano has a string of burglaries to solve. And in he midst of these, one of the burgled people ends up bring a blonde temptress who resembles a teen crush of his. Needless to say, there are many 'charged' moments throughout the story. Nevertheless Salvo manages to solve the crimes.
