Aufruhr im sizilianischen Städtchen Vigàta. Zankapfel ist die umstrittene Einweihung des neuen Theaters Re d’Italia durch die Aufführung einer Oper des neapolitanischen, an Mozart geschulten Komponisten Luigi Ricci – so jedenfalls will es der frischgebackene, aus der Toskana stammende Präfekt Bortuzzi. Doch da hat er sich gründlich verrechnet. Am Schluss geht bei dieser Farce nicht nur der neue Theaterbau in Flammen auf ...Andrea Camilleri (1925-2019) war ein italienischer Drehbuchautor, Theater- und Fernsehregisseur und Schriftsteller.

Il primo omicidio letterario in terra di mafia della seconda repubblica - un omicidio eccellente seguito da un altro, secondo il decorso cui hanno abituato le cronache della criminalità organizzata - ha la forma dell'acqua (""Che fai?" gli domandai. E lui, a sua volta, mi fece una domanda. "Qual è la forma dell'acqua?". "Ma l'acqua non ha forma!" dissi ridendo: "Piglia la forma che le viene data"). Prende la forma del recipiente che lo contiene. E la morte dell'ingegnere Luparello si spande tra gli alambicchi ritorti e i vasi inopinatamente comunicanti del comitato affaristico politico-mafioso che domina la cittadina di Vigàta, anche dopo il crollo apparente del vecchio ceto dirigente. Questa è la sua forma. Ma la sua sostanza (il colpevole, il movente, le circostanze dell'assassinio) è più antica, più resistente, forse di maggior pessimismo: più appassionante per un perfetto racconto poliziesco. L'autore del quale, Andrea Camilleri, è uno scrittore e uno sceneggiatore che pratica il giallo e l'intreccio con una facilità e una felicità d'inventiva, un'ironia e un'intelligenza di scrittura che - oltre il divertimento severo del genere giallo - appartengono all'arte del raccontare. Cioè all'ingegno paradossale di far vedere all'occhio del lettore ciò che si racconta, e di contemporaneamente stringere con la sua mente la rete delle sottili intese.

Vandets form er en skæv og overbevisende krimi, der på overraskende vis blander spænding med et strejf af absurd samfundssatire og lader mafiaen være en permanent trussel, der lurer i baggrunden. Året er 1993, og den succesrige ingeniør Luparello er netop fundet død i den solrige by Vigàta på Sicilien. Retsmedicinerne erklærer, at han er død af naturlige årsager, men kriminalinspektør Montalbanos næse siger ham, at der stikker noget under. Liget er nemlig fundet i en bil, parkeret i hjertet af byens centrum for narkohandel og prostitution. For at opklare sagen må Montalbano arbejde sig igennem en labyrint af korruption og omhyggeligt plantede falske spor, men han er opsat på at nå frem til sagens kerne, selvom både byens politichef, dommer og selveste biskoppen presser på, for at sagen skal henlægges.Hovedpersonen, kriminalinspektør Salvo Montalbano, er bundærlig uden at være naiv, han er lige så nådesløs mod sine modstandere, som han er beskyttende over for deres ofre, og han er svær ikke at komme til at holde af. Vandets form er første bog i Montalbano-serien, der også er lavet som en tv-serie, der har været vist på dansk tv. Lydbogen er levende indlæst af Henrik Hartvig Jørgensen.
