Angelica's Smile by Andrea Camilleri

3.0

I hadn't read any books by this author in the past, so when our local library offered this, I thought I would give it a try. Inspector Salvo Montalbano is absolutely wonderful and so very Italian. He loves a good meal at his favorite restaurant, Enzo's. He constantly fights the corruption that is so part of the Italian system. In this most recent book, Montalbano is investigating a series of burglaries in homes of the wealthy. In the process, he meets Angelica and is mesmerized by her beauty. Even though she is much too young for him and he is being unfaithful to his girlfriend, Livia, he can't help himself. The burglaries keep on coming, and Montalbano begins to despair that he will never get to the bottom of things. But in the end, of course, he does. This was a lot of fun to read. The bonus at the end is a translation of some of the food that Montalbano's housekeeper makes for him.
