Publisher's summary

The Terracotta Dog, the second audiobook in Andrea Camilleri's Inspector Montalbano series, opens with a mysterious tête-à-tête with a mafioso, some inexplicably abandoned loot from a supermarket heist and some dying words that lead Inspector Montalbano to a secret grotto in a mountain cave where two young lovers, dead 50 years and still embracing, are watched over by a life-size terracotta dog. Montalbano's passion to solve this old crime takes him, heedless of personal danger, on a journey through the island's past and into a family's dark heart amid the horrors of World War II.

Andrea Camilleri's Inspector Salvo Montalbano has garnered millions of fans worldwide with his sardonic, engaging take on Sicilian small-town life and his genius for deciphering the most enigmatic of crimes.

The Terracotta Dog is followed by the third title in this satirical and humorous series, The Snack Thief.

Montalbano solves two cases

Mafia criminals and two young murder victims. Two cases for Montalbano to solve.
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.
