The shape of water
Book 6 | Volume 2 | Inntravel Book Club
“[This] is the first in Andrea Camilleri’s Inspector Montalbano series, which follows the stubborn, hot-headed, brilliant, but ultimately really decent, detective. It thrusts you into a Sicily that’s hot, gritty, complicated, but kind of irresistible at the same time. The plot is loads of fun; there are twists and turns of moral ambiguities, but actually most fun is entering the Sicilian world, and hearing about the food, which is so central to Sicilian culture and very central to Montalbano himself.
So, it’s a book that combines comedy and corruption. It combines social insight and Mediterranean sunshine. The book will probably have you wanting to pick up the next one in the series, and it will definitely leave you hungry.”
