August Heat

3 stars

A beach house rental starts with a cockroach plague and ends with a murder victim in a trunk in an illegal underground apartment. This is the first Camilleri I've read, and it's probably not a good starting point to the series because it shows the main character, Inspector Salvo Montalbano, getting played for a chump in the most obvious way possible.
