Summary
Fiction at its most charming - A Man Called Ove meets Andrea Camilleri. Auntie Poldi is this summer's most unlikely hero.
Auntie Poldi can think of no finer place to wait for death than Sicily. All she asks is a sea view, fine wine (and plenty of it) and her family close around.
When death instead takes her handsome young friend Valentino - and under mysterious circumstances at that - Poldi will not take it lying down.
Perhaps it's in her blood (her father was a detective chief inspector); perhaps it's a diverting excuse to spend more time with men in uniform; or perhaps it's just the promise she makes to Valentino while holding his poor dead hand.
But Auntie Poldi's hunting instincts have never felt more alive. Justice must be served - if it's the last thing she does....

Enchanting
I’ve just listened to this book while on holiday in Sicily and loved the references to places, history and food. It’s fun. Lightweight mystery novel but most enjoyable.

A good yarn!
Nice easy listening. An amusing mystery set in the beloved Sicily, with lots of references to good food and beautiful places. I really enjoy anything narrated by Matt Addis.

As Poldi drives an Alfa Romeo she must be okay!
I find the tales are well crafted with Matts narrative most enjoyable. A really great romp sprinkled with Sicilian flavours, enough to revisit the island🫶🏻

Dire
I don't usually leave bad reviews but felt I had to here. The narrator is okay. It is what he has to work with is the problem. It told through the nephew of the main lady. Who is Germen but goes to live in Sicilly. There is a murder. But eighty percent of the book is the food she eats. Her sex life and her many thoughts on friends Very little about the job in hand. Oh and the odd Italian word is thrown in which we are supposed to know . It is slow and turgid. I gave up 4 hours in. Will try to send it back. My advice? Don't bother!
