Auntie Poldi is wild and funny. I really enjoyed her character. This first book in the series is filled with equally entertaining characters and a decent mystery. I'll be honest, I paid a lot less attention to the whodunnit than I did to Auntie Poldi because she was just so...out there...unapologetic, sassy, and self-confident. I'm not really sure what's happening with the romance plot line, but that's probably because I listened to this rather than reading it in print, so I no doubt missed a few of the finer details. I do think I'll read more of the series, as it is a nice, light read, despite the body count.
