Aunt Poldi and the Sicilian Lions is the first book of a series that is a delightful mashup of mystery, romance, humor and Italian big-hearted living on the island of Sicily. Packing up her house in Munich, Aunt Poldi retires to Sicily intending to drink herself to death while enjoying the seaview. But don't despair that this is a book of doom and gloom. As a veteran of "unpleasant twists and turns, setbacks and upheavals of life, Aunt Poldi continues to laugh, love and drink a lot and simply not take things lying down when they go against the grain." Which they always do.
The dialog is sharp and witty, the characters quirky and the location compelling. This is a book that you will fly through and leave you clamoring for the next Aunt Poldi adventure. I am thrilled to now have Aunt Poldi in my life.
