I hope the quality will be as high as the episodes we've seen so far (which have all been based on the books, albeit in wrong order ;-) ).
ReplyDeleteI think it is from a not-yet translated book of short stories: Un mese con Montalbano
ReplyDeleteWatched this last night (having recorded it). It was quite slow with the usual slightly rushed ending, but very good and engaging. I definitely think that Camilleri must have had some hand in this, given the dialogue and some of the characters, eg the brother of the dead man, fascinating. I hope they translate those short stories soon.
