"If you have not read a Camilleri book, once you so , you will want to read the whole series, watch the whole series and hope that Andrea Camilleri will produce 100 more! He writes in such a rich way, seemngly a simple story, but underneath is the threads of many dimensions and his books are so complicated, but natural you cannot put them down. If you read one, you will need another. He is a true genius, mixing crime, food, politics, Sicilian landscape, passion with a product that makes you feel you are on the scene and you can almost smell the sea as you read. I highly recommend you read the first book, because you will want to read them all. This book is no different and as others, it stays with you even when you close the last page. Bravo Camilleri, Bravo. These are real keepers!"

- On this heavenly Sicilian morning, the inspector kills the wrong fly and is filled with guilt. More confusion ensues. The first pages of this novel are some of the funniest in the Montalbano series.
An extremely odd case awaits Montalbano at the office. A man chloroforms and kidnaps a young woman and releases her soon after, no harm done. Then the kidnapper does it again. At the same time, a business burns down, the owner goes missing, and his latest girlfriend is nowhere to be found either. Montalbano’s inspired observations and brilliant deductions are a delight. Right or not.
The investigations are fascinating. And the characters exhibit their characteristic quirks. Fazio is irritatingly efficient. Augello makes use of his womanizing skills. Catarella garbles names every time he answers the phone. And Montalbano worries about getting old. But his gargantuan appetite for good Sicilian food remains as strong as ever.
This is a perfect novel — very clever, somewhat poignant, subtly and blatantly amusing by turns, and even a bit deep. - For some unknown reason, I got this book ahead of its release date! After having to slosh through "Death at La Fenice" By Ms. Leon, I was SO HAPPY to read Camilleri's tight witty writing.
This books seems a might bit more tongue in cheek, and a bit self-aware than the past ones (Mimà and Salvo parley more back and forth pithy insults than I ever read in previous books, but hey, 30 or so years have passed in their work relationship).
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS AND ALL Inspector Montalbano books!!!! I wish there were 10 more coming up!!! - I've read all of the Montalbano books and have loved most of them and really liked the few I didn't love. This last book, The Overnight Kidnapper, is very disappointing. I realize Montalbano is getting older but he doesn't have to seem as if he has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel. There was no zest to this book--Montalbano's eating habits and the detail of his meals were always interesting. There was virtually no detail in this book. The plot was weak. It's the same cast of characters with all of the same habits (sometimes annoying--both to Montalbano and the reader). I was not only disappointed but sorry that Montalbano seems to be on his last legs. If you have not read the Montalbano series, don't base it on this review. Go to the first episode and read them all, even this one to see if you agree.
- This most recent novel in the Inspector Montalbano series continues to impress the reader with the talent and the prodigious body of work of Andrea Camilleri. The clever storyline keeps the reader on the edge of their seat right until the end, when, of course, the inspector comes through and solves the case. But this does not happen until the reader is treated to the hilarious give and take between Salvo, 'poissonally in poison' (read the book) and his co-workers, his superiors, the Mafia, his romantic interest, and of course, his favorite places and foods to eat. Camilleri's wry sense of humor prevails throughout. I have enjoyed reading every book in the series and have recommended it to others who have become hooked on everything Vigata (his fictitious town in Italy where an awful lot of murders seem to take place). The translations are excellent, as are the notes included for the reader. One can only hope that the inspector will have a long and happy career so that we can continue to enjoy his activities and the workings of his process of reasoning out the identity of the culprits. Camilleri gets substantial information across with an economy of words.
If you have not read any of the series my advice is to get started right now. Read the series from the beginning, as Camilleri develops his characters incrementally, throughout the series. - I like the Inspector Montalbano series, and Overnight Kidnapper did not disappoint me. Women in a small Sicilian town are being kidnapped on the road, cloraformed, and wake up the next morning in a field. Montalbano has to solve the crimes and others, deal with his telephone receptionist who mangles names and talks like he's from Brooklyn, manage two junior detectives, fight the bureaucracy, and have some great meals.
I just wish I knew enough Italian to read it in the original. - I am a big fan of Camilleri and his Detective Montalbano mysteries. In this novel Montalbano is getting older but what he may be slowly losing in physical strength he's only getting stronger in solving mysteries. In this one he's faced with a serial kidnapper, an arsonist, and a double murder. These mysteries build upon characters introduced in the previous Montalbano mysteries without providing background information. That's great for die hard fans like me because we don't have to waste time reading past histories and descriptions of characters we know well. But if you're a newcomer to Detective Montalbano mysteries I recommend that you start from the beginning. You won't be disappointed!
