	Andrea Camilleri - Best of Sicily Magazine
		Born at Porto Empedocle (outside Agrigento), in 1925, Camilleri is that rarest of Italians: a truly creative intellectual who came of age during the Fascist era, when mass indoctrination was despoiling many would-be thinkers of his vintage.
		In a Camilleri novel character development and mood are almost as important as plot.
		Camilleri is not the first author to venture into unfriendly native territory, but his examination is fresh, current, unapologetic, bold, maybe even a little startling.

		In this novel about Sicily, the author, Andrea Camilleri, has his Inspector Montalbano deal with the usual Mafia crimes, attempted assassinations and actual murders, but the two bodies found in the Mafia cave are the real mystery of this novel.

	Amazon.ca: Books: The Snack Thief (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Andrea Camilleri is one fine author that you've got to read.
		The presence of Tunisian immigrants in Sicily is mined for mystery by Camilleri, as the stabbing of a retired businessman and the shooting of a Tunisian crewman on a fishing boat soon merge to one very tangled web.
		Author Andrea Camilleri's Inspector Montalbano series combines humor, solid sleuthing; a wonderful view of small town life in Sicily that is alien but fascinating to most of its readers, and charming to everyone; with compelling social commentary.

	Amazon.com: The Snack Thief (Inspector Montalbano Mysteries (Paperback)): Books: Andrea Camilleri,Stephen Sartarelli (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		In his third Inspector Salvo Montalbano mystery to be made available in the U.S., Camilleri (The Shape of Water) displays all the storytelling skills that have made him an international bestseller.
		Camilleri's village is fictitious, but his Inspector Montalbo is true to life.
		My advice: read Camilleri rather than Dona Leon, who cannot and does not capture the beauty and wonder of Italy the way Camilleri does, and whose mysteries aren't as interesting as Camelleri's.

	ReadingGroupGuides.com - The Terra-Cotta Dog by Andrea Camilleri
		Andrea Camilleri's mysteries do not consistently follow this pattern.
		Rather, Camilleri uses the subgenre of the "police procedural" to engage thoughtfully in character development and to raise issues of moral ambiguity.
		In The Terra-Cotta Dog, Montalbano is almost as frustrated by his law enforcement colleagues as he is bedeviled by the forces of the Sicilian underworld.

	Camilleri Andrea: Storie di Montalbano (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		In fact, just released and now available at bookshops is a “Storie di Montalbano” (Mondadori, pgs CLXXII - 1679, Euro 49) that gathers all the novels and a selection of stories, where the central character is the famous policeman created by Andrea Camilleri.
		The surprising news, however, is that the volume is part of the prestigious “Meridiani” series, begun about 33 years to present the all-time classics of literature.
		In that Vigàta which is a fanciful replica of the native Porto Empedocle, Camilleri will thus continue to hang about sneakily: with us eager to hear that “Montalbano sono”, always marking the start of the adventure.

	ReadingGroupGuides.com - The Snack Thief by Andrea Camilleri
		Yet in The Snack Thief, the third Inspector Montalbano mystery by Andrea Camilleri, the detective faces events that remind him, sometimes uncomfortably, of the inescapable emotional connections that tie even a cynical crime analyst to those around him.
		Montalbano finds his sympathies aroused when he takes custody of the novel's title character, an abandoned boy named François, who has managed to survive by stealing the snacks of other children on their way to school.
		Camilleri depicts the antiterrorist authorities, as represented by Colonel Lohengrin Pera, as being almost as indifferent to human suffering as the terrorists themselves.
