About this listen
Set in Sicily, The Terracotta Dog is the second novel in the humorous Inspector Montalbano series by Andrea Camilleri.
*Adapted for BBC4's Inspector Montalbano series*
After a cloak and dagger exchange with an ageing Mafioso, Inspector Montalbano is left haunted by the man’s dying words, which lead him to a mountainside just west of Vigàta where he unearths two young lovers, dead fifty years and still embracing, watched over by a life-size terracotta dog.
Heedless of personal danger, Montalbano’s drive to solve this old crime forces him on a journey through Sicily’s World War II history and to the dark heart of one family . . .
The Terracotta Dog is followed by the third title in this satirical series, The Snack Thief.
Overall this story kept me interested but I have to say that Montalbano's treatment of Livia in this book really annoys me. He ignores her and leaves her on her own etc; etc... I don't know why she puts up with him, I really don't. Montalbano shows no sign that he wants to marry her, he enjoys his single state. He uses her for his intimate requirements, that's all.
