Das Spiel des Patriarchen

The backdrop of the Sicilian landscape adds a unique atmosphere to the crime. I wonder how much the location influenced the story's tone and twists.

The detective's internal conflicts made him more human, but did they ever overshadow the plot for anyone else? I'd love to hear others' thoughts.

The vivid descriptions of the region made me curious whether Camilleri's personal experiences or cultural ties influenced this choice.
