A Munich ex-pat retires to Sicily where she uncovers romance and murder in this humorous mystery series debut.
"To the ranks of amateur sleuths, from Miss Marple to Jessica Fletcher, welcome Auntie Poldi." —Newsday
"Break out the prosecco! There's a new detective in town—and she's sixty, sexy, wise, and utterly adorable." —People magazine
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" (Times Literary Supplement) 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.
"Delightful. . . . Giordano has won me over and I am eagerly awaiting the second in the series." —NPR, The Weekly Reader
"Fans of international mysteries or just those who fantasize about good wine and languorous meals on the Italian coast will devour this mystery debut." —Booklist (starred review)
