The Other End of the Line by Andrea Camilleri
2.0
I enjoyed the mystery and the reveal of who actually killed the tailor, but the majority of this book was very repetitive, at times boring, and centered around Montalbano being a jerk.
I know the character well at this point. After all, I've been on the Montalbano train and enjoying the ride for over 20 books now, but perhaps this is the point for me where the author's focus on making a constant joke out of treating others badly (Montalbano's inner, persecutory dialog about how old he's getting and what a f**kup he is, how he treats Fazio and Angello, for examples) have reached a limit.
