Summary

The Patience of the Spider is the eighth audiobook in Andrea Camilleri's wryly humorous Inspector Montalbano series.

'A brother', he said.

Jesus Christ! Now where'd this brother come from? Whose brother? Montalbano had known from the start that between all the brothers, uncles, in-laws, nephews and nieces, this case was going to drive him crazy.

Chief Inspector Montalbano is on enforced sick leave. But when a local girl goes mysteriously missing, the whole community takes an interest in the case. Why are the kidnappers so sure that the girl's impoverished father and dying mother will be able to find a fortune? The ever-inquisitive Montalbano steps in, to get to the heart of the matter in his own inimitable style.

The Patience of the Spider is followed by the ninth audiobook in the series, Paper Moon.

The food descriptions. I am fat from aural digestion and I don't get to swim in the sea.

Very absorbing.

I love that the author uses such a natural Sicilian atmosphere for these involved novels!
