NOTICE!

For some reason I can add sidebars, but not new posts. Please check back later. I have been working on a variety of things including switching my blog soon from this one, which was set up with my now-defunct West Wisconsin Telcom account. I hope to have my new blog through Gmail up soon. I will provide a link and announcement when I've got everything straight. 7/2/11

Recently read: Andrea Camilleri’s August Heat



I love Camilleri’s Inspector Montalbano series set in Sicily, and this book continues not only the delightful tradition, but is also translated as usual by Stephen Sartarelli, an American who is an excellent writer and poet himself. Montalbano rents a seaside home for his lover, Livia, and her friends. Unfortunately, the holiday is cut short by the discovery of a body in the hidden rooms underneath the house. Montalbano has to find out who the young woman was, why she was killed and why her body was left in the secret room. Another task he has on hand is to get Livia to forgive him—again.
