AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"With its emphasis on character and locale, there is nothing more regional than a mystery, and there are few mystery novelists more specifically regional than Camilleri, whose dialogue-driven books rely on the charm and grit of Sicilian dialect and innuendo....Translator Stephen Sartarelli has wisely chosen to reinforce the homey democracy and elegant economy of the original language by using a pared-down American plain-speak with no discernible regional inflection."Camilleri, Andrea is the author of 'Shape of Water' with ISBN 9780142002391 and ISBN 0142002399.
