Auntie Poldi and the Fruits of the Lord by Mario Giordano
Perfect for fans of Alexander McCall Smith and Andrea Camilleri - the second Auntie Poldi adventure in which Poldi tastes a murder weapon, finds a body in a vineyard, and once again makes herself unpopular in the pursuit of justice . . .
Thirst and murder are Auntie Poldi's pet hates, so when the two are combined there's no stopping the Sicilian Miss Marple from ferreting out the truth. . a delicious read * Choice *
Praise for Auntie Poldi and the Sicilian Lions * . *
Mario Giordano - a Bavarian of Sicilian parentage who writes in German - has created a delightful detective and a lively, humorous portrait of Sicilian society and gastronomy * The Times, Book of the Month *
Giordano is a novelist of high skill and originality with an eye for eccentric comedy, idiosyncratic characters and vivid scenes. John Brownjohn's translation is stylish and this book is a masterly treat * TLS *
The whole book is alive with a tang of lemons to set the senses zinging. Refreshing * The Spectator *
Wonderfully evocative . . . a joyful light read * Crime Review *
