AUNTIE POLDI AND THE LOST MADONNA Aunti Poldi, Book 4

Narrator Matt Addis impressively delivers the adventures and misadventures of Auntie Poldi, a proud resident of Sicily who is German by birth. Listeners will accompany boisterous Auntie Poldi and her equally eccentric, long-suffering, and often tipsy nephew as they work to solve a mystery. Despite being 61 years old, sporting a wig, and having a bum knee, Auntie Poldi is on the trail of wrongdoers involved with an exorcism gone awry. Well-rendered historical details enliven a delightful escapade--with even the Pope ("F1" to his security team) making a cameo appearance. All of Addis's portrayals fit the characters' diverse backgrounds, especially that of the very manly Commissario Vito Montana, who is the standout. This treat of a mystery provides a lot of laughs.
