Yet another in the Inspector Montalbano series. The main character is just trying to get by on a daily basis and do the right thing. He doesn't want promotion so doesn't kowtow to the higher-ups in the Police. The pacing is slow with interspersed absurd moments. All of the books are gentle reads appropriate for rainy days or sitting on the beach. Italian TV has adapted the books for broadcast and the results are generally faithful to the books. BBC is running some of the episodes now (2012).
