The very last Montalbano, Andrea Camillieri having died July 2019 - this one is all his work and displays many a characteristic turn of the pen - parallel stories, some which emerge seemingly from nowhere, puzzling mysteries, Montalbano looking out for the underdog, not being above twisting the truth occasionally, cannoli and Adelina's cooking, Catarella's buffoonery, Mimi's woman-chasing, interrupted meals. And the past, quite often we go back in time - an emotional trip back from a deathbed confession. An excellent way to go out.
Won't miss Franco Piersanti's music for long though as no doubt we'll soon watch all 36 films from the beginning! It began in 1999.
