February 4, 2019 This Bookreporter.com Special Newsletter spotlights a book that releases this winter. Read more about it, and enter our Winter Reading Contest by Tuesday, February 5th at 11:59am ET for a chance to win one of five copies of AUNTIE POLDI AND THE SICILIAN LIONS by Mario Giordano, which will be available in paperback tomorrow. Please note that each contest is only open for 24 hours, so you will need to act quickly! Today's Featured Book and Contest: “Break out the Prosecco! There’s a new detective in town” (People Magazine). Now available in paperback is the delightfully sexy and bighearted novel starring Auntie Poldi, Sicily’s newest amateur sleuth. On her 60th birthday, Auntie Poldi retires to Sicily, intending to while away the rest of 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 goes missing --- and is discovered murdered --- she can’t help but ask questions. Soon there’s an investigation, a smoldering police inspector, a romantic entanglement, one false lead after another, a rooftop showdown, and finally, of course, Poldi herself, slightly tousled but still perfectly poised. This “masterly treat” (Times Literary Supplement) will transport you to the rocky shores of Torre Archirafi, to a Sicily full of quirky characters, scorching days and velvety nights, alongside a protagonist who’s as fiery as the Sicilian sun. And don’t miss AUNTIE POLDI AND THE VINEYARDS OF ETNA, book two in the Auntie Poldi Adventures, on sale March 5th. When Auntie Poldi finds a body in a vineyard, she sets out to solve another murder --- this time with the Mafia nipping at her heels.
