It would be interesting to compare Catarrelli's language-butchering in the original to the English translation.
I was coming off Rankin, Nesbo, Adler-Olsen, Peter Temple and Tana French so it was a change of pace and took a while to adjust to the lighter tone. Now I'm on to Maigret, another lighter one that I'm starting to enjoy. Unfortunately my libraries only have half the series in Kindle format so I'm having to skip a lot of them.
