The carousel trade by Andrea Camilleri Review

Unbelievable, what undiminished creativity inspires Andrea Camilleri, who is ninety years old, on September 6, 2015. Every year he enjoys the worldwide community of loyal fans of his commissario Salvo Montalbano with a new book in the series – and next to it with further works of different genres. appeared in 2014 in Italy fewer than four new books by him, ” Inseguendo un’ombra ” Andrea Camilleri: “Inseguendo un’ombra” at

Compared to the huge range of subjects (between mythology, history, erotic, sociology, psychology and biography) that handles Camilleri in his ‘free’ novels, the detective series to Montalbano appears tightly themed.

They both live on the personality development of the ever-familiar protagonists, his reliable team of Konstanz, from entertaining game with Sicilian characters and locales such as the criminal cases, which in turn the whole range of between petty crime, born of a wide variety of needs, and depths of immorality, inhumanity , greed and cruelty cover. Sensational novelties are probably not expected (unless Camilleri discovered yet cybercrime).

Rather, we encounter again and again the basic phenomena of Italian and specifically Sicilian pursuits away from the law: the mafia, corruption, drug trafficking, construction scandal, prostitution … Is it not wise that Camilleri confined itself to explore only this frame regionally defined ‘?

“La giostra degli scambi,” the latest variation on the theme Montalbano is a conventional thriller in this environment. This is about men and women, love, jealousy, possessiveness, a murder for purely personal reasons and the clever attempts of the offender, to cover up his crime. After the socially critical sweeping blow of “La piramide di fango” I felt this giallo as a soothing relaxing, especially since he is also telling entertaining and varied.
