Valentina Morelli

Benvenuto a Santa Caterina - a picturesque Tuscan village where the bells of the local Abbey chime loudly across the idyllic green hillsides. But today, at noon, Sister Isabella notices an eerie quiet; the bells are silent.

Puzzled, Isabella makes a horrific discovery: Sister Raffaella is lying lifeless in the cloister! Though it appears she fell from the belfry, a cryptic number etched in the dust near her body suggests otherwise...

While Mother Superior is insisting that it's an accident, Isabella isn't convinced. Together with the young Carabiniere Matteo, Isabella begins an investigation of her own and soon uncovers a dark secret... now only divine intervention can help!

Monastery, murder and dolce vita - a crime series like a holiday under the Italian sun. Fans of Richard Osman's "Thursday Murder Club" will love this humorous cosy crime read.

An intrepid nun makes it her life's work to solve crimes, large and small, that are committed in a picturesque Tuscan village, Santa Caterina.
Carabiniere Matteo is happy for this heavenly help, because as Santa Caterina's only policeman, he certainly has his hands full!

Valentina Morelli is a German author. With the Sister Isabella Series, she pays homage to her spiritual homeland, and captures the unique feel of life in Tuscany. For her, murder mysteries are a way of telling human stories.

Monastery, Murders and the Dolce Vita

Death at Noon

Edward Maltby

The nuns of Santa Caterina are back and sinister goings-on are afoot. 

Old Gaetano, an amiable local drifter, is a welcome and regular guest at the convent. But to everyone’s shock, Carabiniere Matteo finds his body down by the river, murdered in cold blood. 

The village is stunned – who would do such a thing? And where is Gaetano’s beloved Saint Bernard, Caesar? 

Determined to get to the bottom of it, Sister Isabella teams up with Matteo (whether he likes it or not) to follow the clues and solve the mystery. But, it may not be a simple murder case after all, and perhaps old Gaetano has not always been whom he claimed to be... 

A delicious, cosy crime that is as warm as the Tuscan sun, perfect for fans of Julia Chapman, Fiona Leitch and Richard Osman.

Death by the River

Holy secrets. Unholy crimes. 

The heavenly peace of the monastery of Santa Caterina is under threat: construction work in the old walls is making quiet contemplation almost impossible!

but before Sister Isabella can get to the heart of Donna’s oddities, she’s found dead in the cloisters. 

With the nuns fearing for their lives, can Sister Isabella and Carabiniere Matteo solve the mystery before another murder takes place?
