"The most enchanting novel I've read in ages! Auntie Poldi and the Sicilian Lions is a lush, sexy, and slightly madcap romp, much like Auntie Poldi herself. She's the aunt your mother warned you about--the one who never turns down a drink or a date with a dashing stranger, never mind the consequences. It's an absolute delight to follow along on her adventures, which involve a missing statue, a handsome policeman, and--oh yes--a murder. Mario Giordano has a gift for eccentric storytelling, snappy dialogue, and sly wit, making this a tart and delectable treat that you'll press on all your friends. I can't wait for the next installment!"--Amy Stewart, author of Girl Waits With Gun
"A new detective is among us. Mario Giordano's Auntie Poldi joins her peers Andrea Camilleri's Inspector Montalbano and Alexander McCall Smith's Mma Precious Ramotswe in winning our hearts. She's a lusty, bold woman who dives into Sicilian life with gusto. I was unable to stop reading and cheering for this renegade. May further adventures ensue!" -- Frances Mayes, author of Under the Tuscan Sun

"Auntie Poldi and the Sicilian Lions has it all for hungry readers: hilarity, intrigue, the magnificent landscape of Sicily and food! Mario Giordano has created a world that spins in technicolor like a Sicilian carretto and, like the traditional donkey carts painted in an explosion of color, this novel is a celebration of the palette of Italian life and the Sicilian experience in its specificity, warmth and drama. Delizioso!"--Adriana Trigiani, bestselling author of Kiss Carlo

"A masterly treat."--Times Literary Supplement
"As types of amateur sleuths go, the category of lusty Bavarian widow has been woefully underrepresented--until now. ...Fans of international mysteries or just those who fantasize about good wine and languorous meals on the Italian coast will devour this mystery debut. The son of Italian immigrants, Giordano has previously written general fiction, YA fiction, and screenplays. Let's hope he sticks with Poldi for quite awhile."--Booklist (starred review)
"Auntie Poldi and the Sicilian Lions is absolutely enchanting, combining whimsy, mystery, sorrow and Sicilian hot blood, with a lusty, tart heroine who '[knows] a thing or two about good places, friendship and things that sustain us.'"--Shelf Awareness

On her sixtieth birthday, Auntie Poldi retires to Sicily intending to while away 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 is murdered, she can't help but ask questions. Soon there's a smoldering police inspector, a romantic entanglement, false leads, a rooftop showdown, and finally Poldi herself, slightly tousled but still perfectly poised.
