Those are golden words to be enjoyed and savoured with relish: "not yet translated from the Italian".
Although I have read six of the Montalbano stories I realised that I had missed The Terra-Cotta Dog, so while I wait for The Patience of the Spider I will have another Camilleri to enjoy. It looks like more work for translator Stephen Sartarelli, or Italian lessons for me.

I have just read the first fifty-seven pages of The Smell of the Night astonishingly quickly. That's some gorgeous, heart-tugging and funny stuff. I may have to post about it soon.
P.S. I posted a comment weeks ago to your "Concrete Possibilities" post. I hope no organized-crime figures pressured you not to publish it.

No,sorry Peter I never received your comment on that post. That leading crime figure Don Blogger Malfunctionione has struck again.
I agree with you about The Smell great stuff and great characters......actually the title has been changed for us more refined British to The Scent of the Night.
Are the publishers crazy, or do they imagine all of Britain is like some genteel Cotswold village?
Am half way through Shape of Water. All you have said about this series is true. Wonderful.
(You can always switch off "comment moderation". Because of the captcha filter, you are safe, and it is one less thing to go wrong. I don't have "comment moderation" on, and becuase of captcha (the funny letter thingy) I have never had any spam getting through to comments.
(Trackbacks, that's another matter-- I do have comment moderation on for those, but I don't think they affect you as last I heard, Blogger doesn't support Trackbacks.)
Returning to the point at issue, I have bookmarked this post as it is a very useful list! I've just been on Amazon ordering the next few of the series, as they are currently selling the earlier ones for 3.99.
Great. (BTW, if you are an Ian McEwan fan, his new book is already available there for 7 pounds something, even though it is not officially out until next month. I've ordered that too. One of the few authors I will buy in hardback, sight unseen.)
