Poldi has just hit sixty and
decides to move from Munch to Sicily to be near family and drink herself into
oblivion with a sea view fate, however has other ideas. Told through the eyes
of her nephew, who visits every few weeks, Poldi, Donna Poldina to the locals,
needs a handyman and is provided with Valentino, not long after fixing her roof
Valentino goes missing and turns up shot to death three days later. Poldi,
whose father was Chief of Police in Augsburg, is determined to avenge his death.
She competes against the local police, notably Montana, who, according to Poldi
has Greek god looks and romantic potential. Poldi may be a woman of a certain
age but she combines the fashion sense of Sophia Loren with the laser brain of
Miss Marple. Valentino’s murderer doesn’t stand a chance.
