Synopsis: &“Break out the prosecco! There&’s a new detective in town&” (People Magazine). Now available in paperback, the delightfully sexy and bighearted novel starring Auntie Poldi, Sicily&’s newest amateur sleuth &“To the ranks of amateur sleuths, from Miss Marple to Jessica Fletcher, welcome Auntie Poldi.&” — Newsday 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 few visitors. But Sicily isn&’t quite the tranquil island she thought it would be. 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. This &“masterly treat&” (Times Literary Supplement) 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. &“Delightful.&” — NPR, The Weekly Reader &“Delizioso!&” — Adriana Trigiani, best-selling author of Kiss Carlo
