Cosy Mysteries Italy

Chiara has presided over the espresso machine at Bar Birbo for as long as anyone can remember. In Santa Lucia, this is the only place to go for a cappuccino served with a side of gossip. The town's residents rely on each other and feel almost like a family, but their secrets are kept well hidden. While romance is in the air for some, the truth behind the love affairs is far more complicated than anyone can imagine. When everyone has ulterior motives and unspoken desires, it's only a matter of time before things finally come to a head.

Florence, Italy, and a wedding. Sardinia, Italy, and a murder. Is there a choice? For Kat and Blaine, there wasn’t. A romantic trip to Florence to take part in a wedding becomes a search for the groom’s best friend’s murderer in Sardinia.

Benvenuto a Santa Caterina - a picturesque village in the heart of Tuscany where the bells of the local Abbey ring loud and clear across the idyllic rolling green hillsides. But wait, it's noon in the Abbey of Santa Caterina - and Sister Isabella is puzzled by the silence - why are the bells not ringing? As Isabella ponders this mystery, she makes a horrific discovery: Sister Raffaella is lying lifeless in the cloister.

Olivia Glass, 34, turns her back on her life as a high-powered executive in Chicago and relocates to Tuscany, determined to start a new, simpler life - and to grow her own vineyard. Olivia is stunned when she discovers the treasure map may lead to a historic wine cellar, hidden on her estate, filled with priceless wine. It seems like the stuff of dreams - until a dead body puts her at the center of the high-stakes discovery, and turns her heaven into a hell.

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.

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 comtemplation almost impossible. There’s something a little peculiar about the new nun, Sister Donna, too. Before Sister Isabella can get to the heart of Sister Donna’s oddities, she’s found dead in the cloisters. The nuns are terrified and fear for their lives. Can Sister Isabella and Carabiniere Matteo find the kill before another disaster...? But there are bigger fish to fry than Donna's odd behaviour.
