Excursion to Tindari by Andrea Camilleri
3.0
A quick & easy listening mystery novel set in Italy. Inspector Salvo Montalbano runs his team & office as he wants to run them to the dismay of his superiors. He has got a great team together despite each member's quirks, they get along & work well as a team. In this instalment, 2 seemingly separate incidents rolled into 1 big conspiracy involving the mafia and certain black marketing activities. Of course, Montalbano solved everything to his own satisfaction (his superiors can get stuffed!).
As a 50 year old confirmed bachelor and I think, he's a confirmed bachelor, really, even with his long-term long-distance relationship with Livia (again another thing that doesn't make sense to me), Montalbano is used to getting his own way and will, unashamedly, manipulate as circumstance will allow. His love for food along with his unpredictable temper provides alternatively cravings for Italian food and comic relief. I do believe all the food descriptions are what really pulled this series!
