CrimeMystery

Inspector Montalbano

Andrea Camilleri

27 books

Inspector Salvo Montalbano investigates crimes in the fictional Sicilian town of Vigàta with a gruff charm, a ferocious appetite for authentic Sicilian food, and a deep contempt for bureaucracy and political corruption. Camilleri's series is as much a love letter to Sicily's landscapes, dialects, and cuisine as it is a detective procedural. By turns funny, melancholy, and sharply political, it's one of the great European crime series.
