Order of Andrea Camilleri Books
Andrea Camilleri was a Sicilian mystery novelist who also made his mark as a theatrical director and screenwriter. Best known for creating the beloved Inspector Montalbano series, Camilleri earned critical acclaim including the Crime Writers' Association International Dagger Award in 2012 and the Nino Martoglio International Book Award in 1998. His captivating works have been gaining momentum with readers across the UK, Australia and North America.
Camilleri's literary journey began in 1978 with the publication of Il Corso Delle Cose ("The Way Things Go"), followed by Un Filo di Fumo ("A Thread of Smoke"). However, these early works failed to find an audience and remained untranslated. It wasn't until 2002 that English-speaking readers got their first taste of Camilleri's storytelling with The Shape of Water, originally published in Italian in 1994. The following list presents Andrea Camilleri's novels in the order of their English-language publication:
Notes: The Smell of the Night is also known as The Scent of the Night.
