Aye, it's new. Only came out in Italy in February. Montalbano must be getting on a bit.

Just watching episode 1 of the new series on catch up, Ep2 is on now. Only Fazio seems to have aged at all since it started nearly 20 years ago.

Found this thread while looking for something else. Sad news recently that Andrea Camilleri died recently. He has written a final Montalbano book years ago that is with his lawyer for publication after his death, so I assume this will get made in the next few years. There are plenty of short stories they can still do and of course Young Montalbano (which seems to be on a haitus). This sad news came not long after the show paid tribute to the actor who played Dr Pasquano by scoffing some cannoli in the Commisariato.

Seemingly the final book contains Salvo's death. Hope I'm wrong.

New episodes are being made, we'll probably see them next year, I wish that if BBC 4 are going to show the repeats as they have these past few Saturday's, that they show them all in order of transmission. Recently BBC 4 has been showing all the series' of Cardinal and Peaky Blinders in the wee small hours, usually on a Sunday after midnight.

Looks like they have them all available for binge watching. Thought the first one was much tighter than the later ones, which got a bit lazy and played too much for laughs. Hope you're not too annoyed about your house being rented out as a hostel!

RAI tv never made the tv series' in the order of the books.

Which is a bit of a shame as Salvo's character developed through the books as they progress.

The Snack Thief was the 3rd book in Andrea Camilleri's series of novels. 

I still love the tv show mind you
