I just finished two books by Andrea Camilleri--The Shape of
Water and The Terra-Cotta Dog. I didn't know anything about
this author before I started reading the books (recommended
by an employee of the local mystery book store). I enjoyed
them, especially the Terra-Cotta Dog, which hooked me
immediately with the opening riff: Inspector Montalbano meets
Tano "the Greek", an assassin from the old school. I've never
been to Sicily, but the books are loaded with details about
Sicilian life, and it rang true for me--so I'm wondering what
others think about these books and the author. Not hard
enough for this crowd?
