Just signed up to Hoopla today. They show 25 episodes of Detective Montalbano available to borrow.

Hoopla looks like a great resource for other things as well.

Appreciate the information’ looking to reminisce on our driving trip in eastern Sicily a few years ago.

Another great Italian series that I think I found through Amazon Prime: Sorelle. Missing person mystery. Great characters, beautiful scenery, beautiful actors, has kids to seniors, and the Italian is clear and not too hard to follow. Subtitles.

You may be interested in Francine Prose’s “Sicilian Odyssey.” It “brings exotic, enigmatic Sicily to life through the prism of its past.

I just read that the last novel in the series has been released in Italy: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/jul/16/montalbano-takes-a-bow-in-andrea-camilleri-posthumous-novel

Have you seen the Young Montalbano series yet? That’s next on my agenda!
