Inspector Montalbano

Montalbano Such a dishy Italian specimen

My Italian is just about as extensive as my Danish....... but these progs are wonderful aren't they?

Loved every minute of it, loved all his fellow policemen, want to go toSicily now, and will download the books.

"Montalbano sono" just trips off the lips. Adore him and the series which is a 12 parter but not sure where we are at now. Inspector Montalbano is my weekly treat. He is soooo sexy - am I allowed to say that? Thanks for the tip about the books, Jacey.

The Killings was hugely enjoyable too. It is so refreshing to find something watchable on TV these days.

Yes, I have been to Sicily for a friend's daughter's wedding which was quite different from an English one. The island is enchanting but we were warned of a few "no-go" areas after dark and there were mutterings about the mafia but we had no problems. What I think we remember most is the smell of wild herbs everywhere as the sun beat down on the ground.

Incidentally, wouldn't mind Montalbano's villa right on the beach. Sheer luxury.

Discovered that I can get all of the series - from mid- February!! I've just watched the first episode....intend watching the second one in a minute!

Thanks, I'd forgotten I'd seen an episode and meant to watch more! Always wanted to go to Sicily...anyone been.Just put off by the very twisty roads!

Now all I need to die happy is a TV series of Inspector Brunetti (Donna Leon) - do read these if you haven't already [rapture] emoticon

Love the series too ...both for him and the wonderful scenery!!

Have now started to read the books ...up to Book 4 ...think the series has actually kept well to the original stories ...the author is Andrea Camilleri.

I'm down-loading them onto my Kindle!!

I have loved these! I enjoyed the books and was sceptical as to how successful they would be on TV, but they are brilliant. Montalbano's dry sense of humour is wonderful and in fact all the characters work really well.

I've seen it once,*gangy5*, and I really did enjoy it! Like you said, the scenery is beautiful - and as for the storyline, I kept wondering when all the nasty stuff was going to happen, and was pleasantly surprised when it didn't! I'm going to have a look to see if I can watch another episode on 'catch-up'! (He's a very handsome chap....)!!
