This is the story of Auntie Poldie, a quirky costume designer who moves to Sicily after retirement on her 60th birthday intending to while away the rest of her days with good wine, a view of the sea, and few visitors.
However the murder of her handyman put a dent in those plans and we now have a murder mystery on our hands which revolves around the characters and the place.
Although a murder mystery the story was a light-hearted comical tale that will have you interested to learn more.
The main characters although eccentric was head-strong and feisty and turns out to be quite a thorn in the side of the detective who got the case. We are introduced to a host of other characters throughout the story and learn quite a bit about the Sicilian culture food and landscape.
I enjoyed this novel.
