Headed to Dublin for a couple days then Sicily for a week. Been on a sci fi run lately making my way through the culture series so looking for a break from that. I was thinking something along the lines of Talented Mr Ripley, Bond novels etc. something along those lines, thriller/spy novel. I have tried to read John Le Carre but found at least The Spy Who Came In From the Cold tedious. TIA

How about a mystery with a grumpy main character set in Sicily? The Shape of Water by Andrea Camilleri. It’s the first book in the beloved Inspector Montalbano series. The audiobook in English is read by Grover Gardner and is especially engaging.
Mario Puzo’s “The Sicilian” – more my thing than the Godfather books.
The TV series Comisario Montalbano was set in Sicily and based on the books of Andrea Camilleri.
Edited – I see another poster already recommended Camilleri & Montalbano.
