Oh my: Such a twisted tale, love, hate, sex, obsession, blackmail, loan sharking, & perversion.
Montalbano is called to investigate the murder of a fiend... The man's son, claiming to have found his father shot in the back of the head while drinking his morning coffee; problem is a definite lack of blood & brain matter. In the remnants the man's coffee cup is something more than sugar, suggesting that he was poisoned first. There are long blond hairs found in the corpse's bed...
The man's daughter & son had reason to want their father dead, they were his heirs, but the old lecher had finally fallen in love and had plans to change the will in favor of his new lover, he was murdered before he could do so.
I figured out the murderers..... Wow, what an intense story!
I marked this down 1 Star; Livia, as always is a haranguing bitch, continually provoking arguments. She is the one character I loath & as she took such a large part in this book I found myself distracted.
A Nest of Vipers, Andrea Camilleri
