The Wings of the Sphinx by Andrea Camilleri

The Wings of the Sphinx (SalvĂș Montalbano, #11)The Wings of the Sphinx by Andrea Camilleri

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


It might have been that the plot was more contrived; or the antics not so funny; perhaps even the translation wasn't up-to-the-usual.

Or it might have been that I was on a camping weekend with a bunch of home beer-makers, and there was much sampling of product.

In any case, I didn't find this quite as enjoyable as the usual Camilleri. Generally, I love Camilleri – and the wonderful translations by Stephen Sartarelli – but this one didn't really click with me.
