![]() Italian Literature (317) No current Talk conversations about this book. Published this year, the newest Inspector Montalbano series starts his rescue of a young woman, whose car is perched over a washed out road and her story of meeting a fancy yacht belonging to her aunt. When the yacht finally arrives, it has brought a dead body with a destroyed face killed by poison. Montalbano then has his usual feelings about a younger woman, a lieutenant from the port police. With the assistance of his nemesis pathologist, he figures out that the victim is someone else and unravels a substantial smuggling operation. My favorite so far. A yacht brings in a man found in a dingy at the harbour entrance. Montalbano's investigation gets help from a young female officer in the Harbour Patrol. Salvo actually tries to not become involved with her but they have a mutual attraction that turns to love. Of course the affair is doomed and in the final act of arresting the bad guys she is shot and killed. no reviews | add a review

One night, Inspector Montalbano dreams of a stormy sea, which he knows represents unease and loss of control. The next day, a boat is found in the port of Vigata, and within it, the body of a disfigured corpse. The waterfront has also drawn in an eighty-five-foot luxury boat passengered by fifty carefree souls and a somewhat shadowy crew. They will have to stay in Vigata until the investigation is over--the man, it seems, was poisoned. However, right now, it is the yacht's owner and sailors Montalbano is focused on.

I was really captured by this story even if I hadn’t followed closely this series. I had no trouble to get caught in the going on at this point and enjoyed every bit of it. So I guess, it is safe to say you could nevertheless enjoy this installment while Montalbano goes about his tasks solving foul play.
In this one, Inspector Montalbano encounters a woman that is interested in a certain yacht scheduled to dock that afternoon. Beside this luxury vessel is anchored another yacht with a somewhat shady crew. When, the crew reports finding a disfigured corpse Montalbano investigates and thinks that the crew knows way more than they are letting know. Then the story will grab you and won’t let go.
I enjoyed passing time with this story even if I didn’t know most of the characters I slowly got to know them through this mystery while they went about their tasks. There are a number of incredibly funny scenes as well as very serious ones. The pacing very well done: slow and steady. In a warm narration, we are taken to the shoreline of a quaint village of Vigata, a lovely little corner of Sicily that comes to life with all the sights, smells and tastes. Mr. Camilleri knows how to pen not only a poignant story but a very captivating tale.
Not a bad read at all (
