The Shape Of Water

The Shape of Water (2017) by Andrea Camilleri – Picador Edition
Sold by Crappy Old Books

Dive into the dusty, sun-soaked backstreets of Sicily with The Shape of Water, the debut novel that introduced the world to Inspector Montalbano — Camilleri’s grumpy, food-loving, justice-seeking detective with a knack for cutting through corruption. When a prominent figure is found dead in compromising circumstances, the local authorities are keen to close the case. But Montalbano smells something fishy (and for once, it’s not his lunch).

This 2017 Picador reissue of the classic brings all the charm, wit, and sardonic humour fans have come to love — though our copy might have a coffee ring or two (hey, it’s Crappy Old Books, not Pristine New Ones).

Perfect for lovers of Mediterranean noir, political satire, and books with a little grit under the fingernails.
