Auntie Poldi and the Sicilian Lions

Average rating3.3
For whatever reason, the first time I opened up this first installment of the Auntie Poldi series, I couldn't get into it. I don't know if it was just me or if it took me a minute to get into the translators rhythm.
I am so glad I pick the book back up a few days later! The characters live and breathe and the author does a fantastic job of making you feel like you are in Sicily enjoying a drink or seven with Auntie Poldi.
The author, like Auntie Poldi, is German with Italian relatives. I read that he based Poldi's character in a real aunt, who may remind many people of Auntie Mame.
Whether you like the mystery or not, you'll probably get as much of a kick out of Auntie Poldi as I did.
