About This Audiobook

Angelica's Smile brings a rash of brazen burglaries to Inspector Montalbano's Sicily, the work of an anonymous ringleader calling himself Mr. Z who begins taunting the inspector with letters. When the beautiful Angelica Cosulich is among those robbed, Montalbano finds himself pulled between professional focus and an infatuation that he acknowledges with typical rueful self-awareness.

Grover Gardner's Montalbano has the sun-warmed quality of the Sicilian coast, his voice finding the inspector's characteristic mix of professional rigor and human appetite. Camilleri's novels have a compact, digressive charm that benefits from Gardner's understanding of the series' rhythm, and the seventeen entry's relatively slim runtime makes it an easy pleasure to revisit.
