Book Reviews of August Heat: An Inspector Montalbano Mystery
Book Review: A perfect pleasure
Summary: 5 Stars
I anxiously await the appearance of every Camilleri novel. Why must the publisher and translator work so slowly? I pounced on August Heat on the publication date, and savored it like those the wonderful Sicilian dishes Inspector Montalbano's housekeeper leaves in his refrigerator.
This is a perfect book. Lots of nice plotting, starting with a cursed house. Lots of irresponsible breaks from detection, while Montalbano enjoys a multi-course lunch or takes a long swim. There's trouble with women, too, which is always fun with an aging detective.
It's over all too soon. We can only hope the translator is at work on the next one.
