  <description><![CDATA[When a colleague extends his summer vacation, Inspector Salvo Montalbano is forced to stay in Vigàta and endure the August heat. Montalbano’s long-suffering girlfriend, Livia, joins him with a friend—husband and young son in tow—to keep her company during these dog days of summer. But when the boy suddenly disappears into a narrow shaft hidden under the family’s beach rental, Montalbano, in pursuit of the child, uncovers something terribly sinister. As the inspector spends the summer trying to solve this perplexing case, Livia refuses to answer his calls—and Montalbano is left to take a plunge that will affect the rest of his life. Fans of the Sicilian inspector as well as readers new to this increasingly popular series will enjoy following the melancholy but unflinchingly moral Montalbano as he undertakes one of the most shocking investigations of his career.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[When a colleague extends his summer vacation, Inspector Salvo Montalbano is forced to stay in Vigàta and endure the August heat. Montalbano’s long-suffering girlfriend, Livia, joins him with a friend—husband and young son in tow—to keep her company during these dog days of summer. But when the boy suddenly disappears into a narrow shaft hidden under the family’s beach rental, Montalbano, in pursuit of the child, uncovers something terribly sinister. As the inspector spends the summer trying to solve this perplexing case, Livia refuses to answer his calls—and Montalbano is left to take a plunge that will affect the rest of his life. Fans of the Sicilian inspector as well as readers new to this increasingly popular series will enjoy following the melancholy but unflinchingly moral Montalbano as he undertakes one of the most shocking investigations of his career.]]>

    <![CDATA[When a colleague extends his summer vacation, Inspector Salvo Montalbano is forced to stay in Vigàta and endure the August heat. Montalbano’s long-suffering girlfriend, Livia, joins him with a friend—husband and young son in tow—to keep her company during these dog days of summer. But when the boy suddenly disappears into a narrow shaft hidden under the family’s beach rental, Montalbano, in pursuit of the child, uncovers something terribly sinister. As the inspector spends the summer trying to solve this perplexing case, Livia refuses to answer his calls—and Montalbano is left to take a plunge that will affect the rest of his life. Fans of the Sicilian inspector as well as readers new to this increasingly popular series will enjoy following the melancholy but unflinchingly moral Montalbano as he undertakes one of the most shocking investigations of his career.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Nice mystery. Interesting backstory. Apparently part of a series, although I read this as a standalone. References to heat and humidity get a bit repetitive.<br/><br/>Inspector Montalbano helps Livia's friends move into a summer home near his. He solves a mysterious death. Good as a beach read.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm not sure why goodreads doesn't have an English edition for this one. Needless to say, I didn't read it in Italian.<br/><br/>I have run out of things to say about Camilleri's Montalbano series, but I'm still enjoying it. If you make it this far, you probably know what to expect.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Unfortunately I didn't read this in Sicilian dialect but as August Heat in English..  I like Camilleri but his books are more like novellas than novels (cf Stieg Larsson) and I read this one in 2 - 3 days.  They are a bit lightweight and the printing is well-spaced out.  ]]></body>
