La paura di Montalbano

His depiction of local customs and settings adds depth, but I wonder if it also shapes how justice is viewed in the story. Did anyone else feel the setting was almost like a character?

The way he navigates right and wrong often felt more intense than the mysteries. I’m curious if this moral complexity is a hallmark of Camilleri’s style or specific to this book.

The intimate setting really amplifies the suspense, but I’m wondering if Camilleri chose this to highlight regional issues or just for atmosphere. Did anyone read about his reasons?
