Publisher's 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....

A silly character

I didn't really enjoy this book. The main character Poldi was too overtly over the top with her silly wig. Why a wig? the conversation on how a kiss was, how the sex was, going into long drawn out questions. Its a real girl party feast sitting around in a circle kind of thing which I loath. The crime plot was dreary and not very exciting. Didnt like anything about it.

If you love Montalbano, you’ll love Poldi.

Excellent! A fun romp, with an amazing narrator. I’ll read more from this author and listen to more from this narrator.
