Whenever I read a book set abroad, I google photos, map, history, etc.<br /><br />I recommend the Montalbano TV series. It's so much fun and the locations are beautiful. The only problem is that I want to run out and find an Italian restaurant and eat pasta and pesce -- or at least cafe and biscotti.<br /><br />And also, the Young Montalbano TV series is great and Montalbano had a log of hair in those days. Lots of fun, beautiful scenery, lots of yelling and Salvo loved his dinners in his early days, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-2474118349523610832016-08-24T16:06:06.452-07:002016-08-24T16:06:06.452-07:00What a wonderful idea, to research tours of the ar...What a wonderful idea, to research tours of the area we're reading about.

You hit a grand slam with that one, so now I'll definitely be looking for Martin O'Brien's books!<br /><br />I'm very glad you enjoyed this post. :-)Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-51440515460704193492016-08-24T01:24:52.907-07:002016-08-24T01:24:52.907-07:00Lovely post, Cathy.

I've read several of the Montalbano books and really enjoyed them... I must get back to the series. I love US based crime series the best I think but am currently reading Jacquot and the Waterman by Martin O'Brien. This is the first book in a series set in Marseilles in the south of France. I don't know if you've read any of them but the author has transported me there, I've never been but feel like I have now. An *excellent* read and will definitely read more.
