Another decent Inspector Montalbano story. A grocery store owned by the Cuffaro's is robbed, and the manager ends up committing suicide is one plot line.

Quotes

“[A] mix of the harrowing and the humorous…particularly Montalbano’s language-butchering assistant Catarella…who could have stepped straight out of a Marx Brothers movie.” Publishers Weekly

“The opera buffa tone of this series plays effectively against the bursts of senseless violence…Thankfully, Montalbano always has the prospect of his next meal to keep him sane.” Booklist

“Camilleri’s trusty inspector keeps things lighthearted…You can trust in his razor-sharp investigative mind even as basic skills amusingly escape him.” Kirkus Reviews
