Review title: a fascinating look inside Sicily
Product review: this is a fascinating read. The first novel in Italy to actually acknowledge and reveal some of the secrets of the Mafia. The mystery is not terribly convincing, but what matters is the sense of place and culture--which is wonderful. Not quite a police procedural, though it has the shape of one---but more a series of character and cultural portraits. For that, it deserves 4 stars.
