Juego de espejos

Camilleri's vivid depiction of Italy's landscapes adds so much atmosphere. I'm curious whether the setting was based on real locations or purely fictional.

The characters often have to choose between the lesser of two evils, which made me question what I would do in similar situations. How did others interpret their decisions?

I appreciated how the story didn't rush but kept me hooked. Do you think this pacing enhances the mystery or slows down the plot for some readers?
