Publisher's summary

From the New York Times best-selling author of Game of Mirrors and publishing on Andrea Camilleri's 90th birthday, A Beam of Light is the 19th installment in the Inspector Montalbano mystery series.

When Inspector Montalbano falls under the charms of beautiful gallery owner Marian, his longtime relationship with Livia comes under threat. Meanwhile, he is also troubled by a strange dream as three crimes demand his attention: the robbery and assault of a wealthy merchant's young wife, stolen works of art, and a search for arms traffickers that leads him deep into the countryside, where the investigation takes a tragic turn.

One of the better ones

This 19th book in the Montalbano series starts with a dream and ends with lots of emotion. In fact, the ending redeemed the entire book for me.

Salvo and Livia’s long-time long-distance romance is stale and they spend a good part of their phone calls arguing. What will happen to them? In the meantime, Salvo becomes infatuated with Marian, an art dealer.

All this time the detectives have more than one case to work out.

A good story and, as usual, a great narration.

Excellence!

law-enforcement, relationships, Sicily, mystery, audiobook ----------
Three policing plots and two relationship plots make this a truly complicated tale. A rather suspicious theft/assault, an interesting woman art dealer with strange connections, and an evident munitions storage in a remote field make for some interesting policing and interdepartmental shenanigans. The interesting woman triggers some inner conflicts for Montalbano while Livia is experiencing an unexplained bout of depression. And, as always, there is Catarella!
More excellent writing from the master with impressive translation by Stephen Sartarelli and narrative interpretation by Grover Gardner.
