The story is effectively complicated, while still being logical and not too convoluted. The English subtitles are not hard to follow at all and helps one to really understand the Italian language. The script is thought-provoking and intriguing, with a healthy balance of never less than amusing and light-hearted if more eccentric than usual humour, some tension and some charming drama with Montalbano's complicated personal life.
