The Cook of the Halcyon
The Cook of the Halcyon | Andrea Camilleri
4 posts | 4 read
The new novel in the transporting New York Times bestselling Inspector Montalbano mystery series Giovanni Trincanato has brought ruin to the shipyard he inherited from his father and when a worker he fires hangs himself on the construction site, Inspector Montalbano is called to the scene. In short order, the inspector loses his temper with the crass Giovanni, delivers a slap to his face, and unfortunately, it wont be the last he sees of Trincanato. Meanwhile, a mysterious schooner called Halcyon shows up in the harbor, seemingly deserted except for just one man. With its presence comes even more mysteries, another death, and the arrival of the FBI. Alongside Sicilian-American Agent Pennisi, Montalbano and his team must attempt a suspenseful infiltration operation in this new, page-turning Inspector Montalbano mystery.

I couldn‘t sleep last night so finished off my first book for #20in4
Another sadness as this almost takes me to the end of the series and this one was published posthumously following Camilleri‘s death. Usual great Fayre from this author, always great to spend time with Montalbano and his zany crew. #SeriesLove2023 @TheSpineView Only one book to go in the series now.

TheSpineView Sorry you couldn't sleep. Still having trouble with heartburn? 1y
Clwojick Totally random, but if it is heartburn… have you tried spearmint gum? It‘s the only thing that helps me,I just chew on 2-3 pcs at once, and it normally calms after 15 mins or so. If this is an ongoing issue, I‘m sure you‘ve tried everything, but I figured I‘d suggest it in case you hadn‘t heard of this trick. I just found out about it a year ago, and it‘s been a life changer for me. 1y
Andrew65 @TheSpineView still issues but not as bad as it was. On this occasion my wife was up being sick every 20 minutes through the night, we think it might be her passing a gallstone. 1y

Ahhhhhh yes, I've been taken back to Vigata in Sicily! Montalbano has nothing to do! Then he's commanded to take a vacation, and after visiting Livia, he comes home to find out he's being replaced as Inspector! But wait, why does the commissioner want to see him secretly? Good food, laughter and a dangerous plot combines to make this another fabulous fun book. I will miss them...

Mehso-so

Camilleri arranged a story written for a movie to a novel by Commissario Montalbano. The pace is not the same as in another books and the story itself a doesn‘t stand so much together.....not one of its best for sure. #2020
