Praise for Some Bitter Taste

“Although [the Marshal] is exquisitely attuned to the changeable moods of his city and infinitely patient about the vagaries of its citizens, he often feels himself a hopeless outsider from Sicily. That estrangement is what makes Guarnaccia a compassionate champion of the many foreign victims.”
—The New York Times

“Fans of George Simenon’s Inspector Maigret will find much to like in Nabb’s twelfth police procedural . . . [Nabb possesses] elegant style and sensitivity to character.”
—Publishers Weekly

“Surprising plot twists . . . Strongly recommended for readers who like sophisticated, literate mysteries in foreign settings.”
—Library Journal

“The self-effacing carbinieri marshal is among the genre’s most appealing cops.”
—Booklist
