The Sicilian Method
Commissario Montalbano • Book 26
by Andrea Camilleri, Stephen Sartarelli
Narrated by Grover Gardner
About This Audiobook
Inspector Montalbano's colleague Mimi Augello escapes through a window during an illicit encounter only to stumble upon a corpse in a darkened apartment below. The next morning brings news of another death: Carmelo Catalanotti, a theatrical director known for his brutal acting methods and his meticulous, private documentation of everyone he ever worked with. Andrea Camilleri's twenty-sixth Montalbano novel uses the world of bourgeois theater as a backdrop for a mystery whose solution Montalbano finds hidden in the notes and unfinished scripts of a man obsessed with control.
Grover Gardner's narration gives the novel its customary warmth and wry Sicilian atmosphere. His reading of Catalanotti's eccentric theatrical materials has a deadpan quality that suits Camilleri's humor, and his handling of Montalbano's circuitous investigative reasoning makes the detective's lateral thinking feel like pleasure rather than process. At just over seven hours, The Sicilian Method is a brisk, satisfying late-series entry.
