Andrea Camilleri is one of those writers I can't stay away from too long. I'm always looking for his next Inspector Montalbano books, and have read one of two of his others. I had no idea that The Sect Of Angels was coming out, so the second I saw it on NetGalley, I requested it, thinking that I wouldn't have a chance of getting it. Later that day, I had a nice early Christmas surprise in my email, thanks to the good people at Europa Editions.
When lawyer Matteo Teresi discovers that several young, unmarried, underage girls are all two months pregnant, he sets out to find out who the fathers are. During his investigations, he finds out that there is something sinister going on at several of the local churches. Based on a true story and set in 1901, Camilleri describes the story with humour, pace and quality. The plot is fantastic, and very fitting with today's society as well. The main characters are very vivid and believable, and the rest of the cast, although large in number, are not just background artists.
I have no negative things to say about this book. I loved it from start to finish. I will admit to getting quite angry at the end of the story, but I don't want to spoil the book for you! Enjoy it!
Star rating: 5/5
