Death at Noon: a page-turning cosy mystery set in Tuscany

Sometimes the most divine interventions come when you're ´nun´ the wiser

Benvenuto a Santa Caterina, a picturesque Tuscan village where the abbey bells usually chime at noon. But today, Sister Isabella finds the silence unsettling. When she discovers Sister Raffaella lifeless in the cloister, a fall from the belfry seems likely, but a cryptic number near the body hints at something more sinister…

Mother Superior insists it's an accident, but Isabella suspects foul play. Teaming up with the handsome young Carabiniere Matteo, she uncovers a dark secret that plunges them into a web of village intrigue. Can Isabella solve the mystery before another sister falls silent?

Perfect for fans of cosy mysteries and charming Italian settings. Readers who love Vivian Conroy, Lorenzo Carcaterra and T.A. Williams’ ´Armstrong and Oscar´ series, will enjoy the sunny Sister Isabella Mysteries.

Valentina Morelli has gained popularity with her cozy mysteries about Sister Isabella, a devoted follower of faith and an effective amateur detective. ´Death at Noon´ is the first book in the series set in the heart of Tuscany.
