A Nest of Vipers
Commissario Montalbano • Book 21
by Andrea Camilleri, Stephen Sartarelli
Narrated by Grover Gardner
About This Audiobook
A Nest of Vipers brings Inspector Montalbano a murder case that initially appears straightforward, the gunshot killing of a wealthy widower named Cosimo Barletta, until his secret life reveals itself through photographs he used to blackmail young women, a trove of corruption that raises the moral question of what justice actually looks like when the victim was himself a predator.
Grover Gardner's narration of the Montalbano series is a masterclass in capturing Camilleri's sardonic Italian humor without losing the underlying seriousness. His Montalbano is warm, food-obsessed, and morally alert, and Gardner's voice carries the Sicilian setting through the language with a texture that makes the audiobook feel culturally specific. The series' compact length makes each entry a satisfying standalone listen.
