Auntie Poldi and the Sicilian Lions -- Mario Giordano

<strong>"Break out the prosecco! There's a new detective in town" (<em>People Magazine</em>). Now available in paperback, the delightfully sexy and bighearted novel starring Auntie Poldi, Sicily's newest amateur sleuth</strong> <p/> "To the ranks of amateur sleuths, from Miss Marple to Jessica Fletcher, welcome Auntie Poldi." -- <em>Newsday</em> <p/> On her sixtieth birthday, Auntie Poldi retires to Sicily, intending to while away the rest of her days with good wine, a view of the sea, and few visitors. But Sicily isn't quite the tranquil island she thought it would be. When her handsome young handyman goes missing--and is discovered murdered--she can't help but ask questions. Soon there's an investigation, a smoldering police inspector, a romantic entanglement, one false lead after another, a rooftop showdown, and finally, of course, Poldi herself, slightly tousled but still perfectly poised. This "masterly treat" (<em>Times Literary Supplement</em>) will transport you to the rocky shores of Torre Archirafi, to a Sicily full of quirky characters, scorching days, and velvety nights, alongside a protagonist who's as fiery as the Sicilian sun. <p/> "Delightful." -- NPR, <em>The Weekly Reader</em> <p/> "Delizioso!" -- Adriana Trigiani, best-selling author of <em>Kiss Carlo</em><br><br><b>Author:</b> Mario Giordano<br><b>Publisher:</b> Ecco Press<br><b>Published:</b> 02/05/2019<br><b>Pages:</b> 368<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.65lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.90h
