About this listen

Paper Moon is the thrilling ninth instalment in the Inspector Montalbano series, by Italian author Andrea Camilleri.

As he gets older, Inspector Montalbano is plagued by existential questions. But he doesn't have much time to wax philosophical before the gruesome murder of a man – shot in the face at point-blank range with his pants down –commands his attention. Add two evasive, beautiful women as prime suspects, dirty cocaine, dead politicians, mysterious computer codes, and a series of threatening letters, and things soon get very complicated at the police headquarters in Vigàta.

Paper Moon is followed by the tenth book in the Inspector Montalbano series, August Heat.

Critic reviews

A magnificent series of novels.
Wonderful Italian detective stories.

It went in one go. Montalbano squeezed between 2 women in the end will manage.
I think Camilleri wanted in this book to have the reader understand what Montalbano did not.
Do not miss it. Now I can watch the movie.

Another beautiful novel

This is the ninth book in the series. I have listened to the previous eight. Only the eighth one disappointed me a little so I was relieved to find this Paper Moon return to the high standard of the first seven.

Very entertaining, and, as always, absolutely first class narration.

Back up to his high standard
