Ah Commissario you have lost the touch, not talking about food much, having a duel with a young killer. Weakest Montalbano book so far.

Per la prima volta ho previsto perfettamente come sarebbe andata a finire, chi era l'assassino, le motivazioni, tutto. Anzi, l'ho previsto ben prima di Montalbano. Qui due sono le cose: o ho imparato a leggere nella mente di Camilleri o Camilleri sta invecchiando. Nel complesso la storia non è male, ma forse non è una delle più riuscite. Mi sembra che Montalbano faccia sempre più fatica e che gli inizi a difettare la logica. Forse è voluto, forse no. Vedremo nelle prossime storie.
Como siempre, el comisario Montalbano me atrapa desde la primera página. Poco más que decir, tan bueno como siempre.

Another unusual Montalbano story, in that there really isn't a crime for most of the book. When there is, it is fairly simple to figure out whodunnit. Hint: .
In most of the stories, we get descriptions of horrible murders committed by organized crime, drug smugglers or other people with a financial interest in a death. In this one, there's a creepy treasure hunt, which turns deadly at the end.
I like mysteries where the murder is just business, which is the case in most of the Montalbano stories. In this one, it's a hobby, and I'm just not happy with that.

il serial killer che ti aspetti da uno scrittore che non ti aspetti, quasi che Camilleri si sia messo a leggere Patricia Cornwell...
