A Voice in the Night

The Inspector Montalbano, Book 20

By: Andrea Camilleri

Narrated by: Grover Gardner

The 20th novel in the irresistible New York Times best-selling Inspector Montalbano mystery series.

Montalbano investigates a robbery at a supermarket, a standard case that takes a spin when manager Guido Borsellino is later found hanging in his office. Was it a suicide? Inspector Montalbano and the coroner have their doubts, and further investigation leads to the director of a powerful local company.

Meanwhile, a girl is found brutally murdered in Giovanni Strangio's apartment - Giovanni has a flawless alibi, and it's no coincidence that Michel Strangio, president of the province, is his father. Weaving together these two crimes, Montalbano realizes that he's in a difficult spot where political power is enmeshed with the Mafia underworld.

More Hijinks of Inspector M

This story it’s just another example of Camilleri’s mastery of the genre. Such a fun ensemble of characters and hijinks.

The great truth!

In case you didn't know, the great truth about the Montalbano mysteries is that if it seems obvious, it isn't the truth. Once again there are two mysteries that need solving but each is very convoluted and takes a lot of astitution and creative diligence to get to the truth. Enjoy this mess even as it drives you nuts!
I don't speak Italian, so I can only admire Sartarelli for his work of translation.
Grover Gardner continues to be excellent as narrator.

Deserves six stars

One of the strongest novels in the series. At times it has an almost Sciascia-like air of nightmare intrigue, and it takes up a contemporary issue without hitting the reader over the head with its contemporariness.
