The Paper Moon

Andrea Camilleri does it again. Inspector Montalbano is as engaging, funny, and caring in this novel as in the previous ones of the series. Camilleri's style becomes ever more fluid as the series progresses. In The paper moon Montalbano investigates a murder while struggling with his own thoughts of mortality. With a stream of beautiful women surrounding him, and Constable Catarella's increasingly odd Italian, Montalbano has to keep his head while investigating a crime which may, or may not, be of passion.

Humane, funny, and with a great plotline. This is another enjoyable addition to the Montalbano series.
