Auntie Poldi, sassy, brassy, and 60, moves to Sicily for a silent alcohol-fuelled pension. A murder spoils her plans. This is the first novel in a charming new puzzle series occur Sicily and laced with Italian sensuality and laughter. It features an amateur sleuth, the sassy and foul-mouthed Auntie Poldi. Recently widowed Poldi moves to Sicily to be able to silently drink herself to fatality with a sea view, but destiny intervenes. When she discovers the corpse of a man on the beach, his face blown off with a sawn-off shotgun, she becomes a potential suspect in his murder circumstance. Poldi soon comes for the gorgeous Commissario Montana who has been designated to lead the situation. They form an investigative - and intimate - collaboration. The delightful information on this relationship, and the extreme awkwardness of Poldi's retelling it to her mortified nephew, are a few of the novel's many high things. Sicily, a stunning backdrop, is an island of people enthusiastic about food. They talk passionately about which distant village produces the best olives, pistachio snow cream, oyster mushrooms, mandarins, and marzipan, and about which restaurant provides the best pasta al nero di sepia or canolli a la crema di ricotta. And there is never a direct mention of the mafia ("an technology of those fascists in the North"), even though met with murders devoted with sawn-off shotguns.
