Changes

The book reads well as a stand alone. You'll perhaps miss a little by not knowing the backstory of the main characters but it's not a major problem. If you'd like to read the books in chronological order then you'll find the full list [[Andrea Camilleri's Inspector Montalbano Books in Chronological Order|here]]. For another Italian crime series you might like to consider the [[A Darkness Descending (Sandro Cellini) by Christobel Kent|Sandro Cellini series]] by Christabel Kent although it has to be said that Camilleri is hard to beat.
