The Terra Cotta Dog<\/a><\/em>, Audio Edition (1996\/2002\/2007) Andrea Camilleri<\/a> translated by Stephen Sartaelli narrated by Grover Gardner <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I do enjoy this series, and I’m glad that Michael is enjoying listening to it (since I couldn’t get him to read it).<\/p>\n

We see Montalbano become fascinated with a murder that happened during WWII–a completely inexplicable tableau. <\/p>\n

One of the things I enjoy about these stories is how often they make me laugh, and how some things become funnier over time, as I laughed about Fazio’s pulling a piece of paper from his pocket while Michael hasn’t read\/listened to enough stories to get why this is so funny.<\/p>\n

Couple of notes. First this passage:<\/p>\n

In my opinion, it is definitely a photomontage. Rather well done.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat makes you think so?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThe background shadows. The girl\u2019s head has been mounted in place of the real bride\u2019s head.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There is a word that you never hear anymore: photomontage.<\/p>\n

And this bit just cracks me up:<\/p>\n

out of curiosity, he raised his eyelids just enough to see a little. Livia was there, sitting beside the bed in the only metal chair; behind her, standing, was Anna. On the other side of the bed, also standing, was Ingrid. Livia\u2019s eyes were wet with tears, Anna was crying without restraint, and Ingrid was pale, her face drawn. <\/p>\n

Good God<\/em>! Montalbano said to himself in terror.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This series is a delight, and it’s not bad to listen to either.
\nRating: 8\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n
