Trade cloth edition in very good condition. Dust jacket with intact price point. Full number line starting with 1. Mylar cover included. Auntie Poldi Adventures #1.
“Sweet, salt, bitter, piquant—Sicilian cusine is all-embracing and pleasurably involves all the senses in a single dish. A gelato must also be like this. Sweet as a whispered promise, the pistachio ice cream salty as sea air, the chocolate ice cream faintly bitter and a little tart like a lover’s goodbye the next morning.”
On her sixtieth birthday, Auntie Poldi retires to Sicily, intending to while away the rest of her days with good wine, a view of the sea, and a few visitors. But Sicily isn’t quite the tranquil island she thought it would be, and something always seems to get in the way of her relaxation. When her handsome young handyman goes missing—and is discovered murdered—she can’t help but ask questions…
Soon there’s an investigation, a smoldering police inspector, a romantic entanglement, one false lead after another, a rooftop showdown, and finally of course, Poldi herself, slightly tousled, but still perfectly poised.
Auntie Poldi and the Sicilian Lions will transport you to the rocky shores of Torre Archirafi, to a Sicily full of quirky characters, scorching days and velvety nights, alongside a protagonist who’s as fiery as the Sicilian sun.
