... anche questo personaggio trasferito dalla terra alla via d'acqua salata, il Commissario (momentaneamente di bordo) Collura. In uno di quei condomini galleggianti che sono le navi da crociera, riesce, con un pò d'aiuto del suo secondo, più scafato ed avvezzo alle dinamiche che si creano durante le navigazioni, a sfruttare il suo fiuto e la sua capacità di osservazione per risolvere piccole e grandi crisi, misteri, truffe. Il tutto attraverso piccoli capitoli di vita di bordo, a volte presi in prestito direttamente alla vita reale di questo paese, a volte romanzi di storie più che plausibili di essere accadute sul serio. Alla fine di ogni capitolo, il commissario, stupito, ma forse non troppo, non smette di chiedersi show more quanto ci sia di vero in quel piccolo mondo in movimento confinato per un tempo prestabilito sull'isola di lamiera galleggiante, un mondo volutamente artefatto che poco ha a che fare con la vita di mare, ma è soltanto una parentesi vagamente vacanziera dalla vita terrestre. show less
Relatos breves de misterio con un tono ligero. Entretenido pero no llega a la altura de otros libros de Camilleri.
Tras resultar herido en un tiroteo, el comisario de policía Vincenzo Collura, conocido por todos como Cecè, acepta encargarse de la seguridad de un crucero que surca las aguas del Mediterráneo mientras se recupera de sus heridas. Sin embargo, al poco de embarcar, deberá enfrentarse a ciertos misterios que harán de su posición en el barco algo muy necesario. Entre falsos cantantes, fantasmas que aparecen misteriosamente, intercambios de gemelos, cadáveres desconocidos y un robo de joyas de incalculable valor, Cecè se encontrará, una vez más, teniendo que confiar en su olfato y en sus células grises para dar con los culpables. Un crucero en el que todo puede pasar. Un caso para el comisario Collura, un investigador sin igual.
Missie meer dan geslaagd, zou je denken. Tot de verhaaltjes werden gebundeld in een boek, en je blijft zitten met vertellingen in één dimensie en met wel héél kortstondige aha-erlebnissen. Camilleri liet zijn Montalbano thuis voor deze verhalen, en dat is maar goed ook.
