A review by bhnmt61
Auntie Poldi and the Sicilian Lions by Mario Giordano

3.0

An eccentric widowed German woman retires to Sicily to live near her father's family. She meets the locals, including a young man who runs errands and does handy-man type work for her. When he is found murdered, Auntie Poldi “assists” the local police in solving the crime, especially the handsome chief detective. Poldi is a hoot. I found the story amusing and engaging at the beginning and the end, but it was uneven. Not sure if it’s the story itself or the translation, because in spite of the stellar setup, it was plodding in the middle.
