While the story may not be memorable, this third book in the Aunti Poldi series makes me think Aunti Poldi is worthy of being a sister to the Marx Brothers. She’s a 60+year old Bavarian, with a checkered if not interesting past, who now lives in Sicily. This mad hatter tromp through the Sicilian countryside because of a briefcase wanted by the Mafia is entertaining, and despite the Mafia makes me want to visit Sicily. ( ) laugh-riot, situational-humor, verbal-humor, Sicily, mafia, law-enforcement, family-dynamics, friendship***** "Italy is complicated. Something always intervenes." "In Poldi's case, a statistically significant cluster of handsome Antonios." The nephew is back recounting his Auntie Poldi's escapades in Sicily with lots of laughs, innuendos, magic, the Mafia, police and the carabinieri, old spies, and even Mr Death. I thought that she couldn't get any more hilarious, but I was SO WRONG! This book is absolutely the very best antidote to the news media right now! I don't know if I laughed any harder with this one and I don't really care, I just know that I LOVED IT. I do want to make certain to thank John Brownjohn for translating it into English so that my part of the world can enjoy it! I requested and received a free ebook copy from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt via NetGalley. 07/30/2020 I had some problems with sight reading, then saw that it would soon be on audio, so I bought it. I actually prefer narrated books when I suspect that I would screw up the other language's pronunciations. Matt Addis is really super at narrating this one and I hope that he will be doing the others. 04/17/2022 Nette Situationsbeschreibung, aber enttäuschendes Ende. Der Autor hat sich nicht die Mühe gemacht, einen wirklichen Krimi zu konstruieren. Das finde ich Schade, denn Teil 1 und 2 waren noch Krimis. Ich hatte den Eindruck er ist leicht gelangweilt und muss nun immer noch eins draufpacken (Jump the Shark-mäßig). Bei Kluftinger war es genauso - erster Band top, weil es ein wirklicher Krimi mit einem echten Motiv wir, und dann ruck zuck jagt der Klufti Terroristen. Die Donna-Leon-Krimis werden zwar nach dem x-Band auch irgendwann langweilig. Aber man muss im Vergleich sagen, dass die Autorin es wirklich durchgehalten hat, echte Krimis zu schreiben. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML:The latest installment in Mario Giordano's best-selling series of charming mysteries, starring Sicily's most glamorous gumshoe, Auntie Poldi. All the beloved, irascible Auntie Poldi wanted from her Sicilian retirement was time to enjoy the sunshine, a free-flowing supply of wine, and a sultry romance with Chief Inspector Vito Montana. But then her idyll is rudely disrupted by the last person she wants to see on her doorstep: John Owenya, detective inspector with the Tanzanian Ministry of Home Affairs, who is also her estranged lying cheat of a husband. Not only is John's sudden reappearance putting a kink in Poldi's dreamy love affair with Montana, but his presence also comes with a plea for helpâ??and unwanted clashes with the Mafia. Where is John's half-brother? What is the ten-million-dollar "it" that John's brother was last seen with, which has both the Sicilian and the Tanzanian mobs in a frenzy? With only a postcard that has a phone number and a name, "Handsome Antonio," on the back, Auntie Poldi hops begrudgingly (albeit with a great deal of gumption and panache) back into the saddle (in this case, an immaculate red Maserati Cabrio from the eighties with cream leather upholstery). The faster she finds Handsome Antonio, the sooner she can get John Owenya out of her hair and her love life. But the people Poldi discovers along the way may very well knock her immaculate wig ask Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
