    <body><![CDATA[Not my favorite Montalbano mystery, but still very good. Did not like the way Montalbano was used, allowed himself to be used and figuratively raped while he investigates a rape and murder. This is the only Montalbano mystery (of the five I've read) where the ending left me unsatisfied, feeling that...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60315700">more...</a>]]></body>
