Totally enjoyed this book that I won from #BookishFirst! A 60-year-old widow, Auntie Poldi, moves from Munich to Sicily (where her in laws live) to have a view of the sea and drink herself to death. That plan is thwarted as she feels compelled to investigate the murder of her young errand boy. Needless to say, she is a character! The story is told through her nephew (who is writing a book and often visits). The secondary characters are richly drawn, and Poldi’s interactions with them are fun.The writing is humorous and smoothly flowing (if a bit long-winded). Totally recommend! There is a hint of further adventures to come, so I am hoping for more! I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Poldi!
