Auntie Poldi is a sassy older lady who knows just what she wants and goes for it. Incredibly relatable and enjoyable to read about. Her penchant for admiring attractive men is just one of the good things about this book. The way its written as a dialogue between her and her nephew allows for some hilariously humorous asides.

I really enjoyed this one. I like the way the nephew explains his aunt’s adventures. He loves and respects her even if he does not fully understand or agree with her.

Fiesty and firey 60 year old Poldi encounters a dead handyman, a lovely Frenchwoman, a landscaper under suspicion, an eccentric aficionado of Hölderlin and his poetry, the requisite handsome Italian detective, and the fantasy that is Sicilian life and food. Narrated by her nephew with a vivd imagination. Looking forward to the next in the series.
