   "When prosecco-loving Auntie Poldi retired to Sicily from Germany, she never dreamt her tranquil days would be interrupted by murder. But Sicily had other plans, and Poldi found herself honor-bound to solve the disappearance of her beloved (and cute) handyman. Now, she's finally ready for some peace and quiet--interrupted by romantic encounters with handsome Chief Inspector Montana, of course--when the water supply to her neighborhood is cut off and a dear friend's dog is poisoned, tell-tale signs that a certain familial organization is flexing their muscle. Poldi knows there will be no resolution without her help. She soon finds a body in a vineyard, tangles with the Mafia, and yet again makes herself unpopular in the pursuit of justice. But once wine and murder mix, how could she possibly stay away? A sexy and thrilling follow up to Giordano's debut novel, Auntie Poldi and the Sicilian Lions, hailed by Adriana Trigiani as 'an explosion of color [and] a celebration of the palatte of Italian life and the Silian experience in its specificity, warmth and drama'"-- Provided by publisher

   Es ist so weit: Die Poldi heiratet Montana. So jedenfalls der Plan. Die Hochzeitsvorbereitungen laufen auf vollen Touren, bei manchen liegen die Nerven bereits blank. Aber - man kennt das - Sizilien ist kompliziert, immer kommt was dazwischen. Ein unbeliebter Unternehmer verschwindet. Fiel er etwa in die Hände der Mafia? Und auf der Isola Bella vor Taormina wird die Leiche einer jungen Frau angespült. Die schöne Slowakin ist an einer Überdosis Ketamin gestorben. War es Selbstmord? Ein Unfall? Für die Poldi steht bereits fest: Mord. Zwei gute Gründe, die strapaziösen Vorbereitungen einer sizilianischen Hochzeit erst mal ad acta zu legen und stattdessen dem Jagdinstinkt zu folgen ...
