When it comes to solving crimes, Sister Isabella is second to ‘nun’.

In the picturesque village of Santa Caterina, nestled in the rolling Tuscan hills, convent life is turned upside down when one of its own is found dead under suspicious circumstances. As whispers echo through the cloistered halls, Sister Isabella joins forces with Carabiniere Matteo once again to uncover the truth behind the tragedy.

Just as the investigation begins to unfold, a mysterious guest named Gina Belluci arrives at the convent. Charming and sharp-witted, she claims to be seeking peace and quiet — but it’s clear she’s not telling the whole truth. As tensions rise, secrets begin to surface, and Sister Isabella must unravel the mystery that winds through the heart of the convent itself.

Perfect for fans of light-hearted mysteries, small-town charm, and stunning Italian backdrops. If you enjoy T.A. Williams’ ‘Armstrong and Oscar’ series or Fiona Grace’s ‘Tuscan Vineyard Cozy Mysteries’, you’ll love the 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 in the Cloister´ is the third book in the series set in the heart of Tuscany.
