What They're Saying

Critics Review

Montalbano’s colleagues, chance encounters, Sicilian mores, even the contents of his fridge are described with the wit and gusto that make this narrator the best company in crime fiction today * Guardian *
Among the most exquisitely crafted pieces of crime writing available today … Simply superb * Sunday Times *
One of fiction’s greatest detectives and Camilleri is one of Europe’s greatest crime writers * Daily Mail *
The Overnight Kidnapper is an ideal beach read or a prefect winter evening companion. It’s the light tone, the humorous relationships between the characters and the farcical situations that arise in the novels that makes them so enjoyable … If you are new to Montalbano, aside from going back to the beginning, this would be an excellent place to start. * NB Magazine *
