Andrea Camilleri's sensational Inspector Montalbano continues in the fourteenth instalment, The Age of Doubt.

A chance encounter with a strange young woman leads Inspector Montalbano to Vigàta harbour – and into a puzzling new mystery. The crew of a mysterious yacht – the Vanna – due to dock in the area have discovered a corpse floating in the water, the dead man's face badly disfigured. It isn't long before Montalbano begins to become suspicious of the Vanna's inhabitants. Who is the yacht's owner, the glamorous and short-tempered Livia Giovannini? How has she accrued her riches? And why does she spend so much time at sea?

Meanwhile Montalbano finds himself getting into tangles with the dreaded Commissioner, the exasperating Dr Lattes and a very beautiful young woman at the harbour, with whom he becomes dangerously besotted . . . Can the Inspector clear his head long enough to unravel this murky mystery?

The Age of Doubt is followed by The Dance of the Seagull, the fifteenth book in the series.

Critic reviews

A magnificent series of novels.
Wonderful Italian detective stories.
All stars
Most relevant
This one seemed shorter than others and rather than having two crimes intertwining there was one crime story and a second emotional almost-a-crime storyline. Poor old Lívia!

Played a little more for laughs than some others, but nevertheless a very good and entertaining story. Almost like a Carry On film in places.

Excellent narration as is usual in this series.

Very enjoyable
