false 69366 24 In the third book in Andrea Camilleri's Inspector Montalbano series, the urbane and perceptive Sicilian detective exposes a viper's nest of government corruption and international intrigue in a compelling new case. When an elderly man is stabbed to death in an elevator and a crewman on an Italian fishing trawler is machine-gunned by a Tunisian patrol boat off Sicily's coast, only Montalbano suspects the link between the two incidents. His investigation leads to the beautiful Karima, an impoverished housecleaner and sometime prostitute, whose young son steals other schoolchildren's midmorning snacks. But Karima disappears, and the young snack thief's life-as well as Montalbano's-is on the line . . . 2326581 book 1996 The Snack Thief (Inspector Montalbano Mysteries (Paperback)) total:237|5:59|4:106|3:62|2:8|1:2| 237 923 299 33 5 0 false false Sat Apr 04 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 09 04:42:43 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 09 07:08:18 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Tue Jul 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 09:24:44 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 09:33:50 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 09 07:48:42 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 09 07:48:54 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Sep 27 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 27 12:36:02 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 27 12:36:33 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 16 20:16:18 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 16 20:19:45 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Mar 25 01:36:27 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 21 11:26:03 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 25 01:36:27 -0700 2009 i would give this whole series 5 stars but it seems a bit ... weird? i keep thinking, there must be a book i like better or less but, honestly, they are ALL amazing so far. this one ...more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Mar 13 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 15 12:03:57 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 15 12:11:13 -0700 2009
Montalbano is an intriguing character for sure. As the series goes on he's becoming more sympathetic and less of a pure asshole. The pacing and plotting were excellent.
