About this listen

When a local drifter turns up dead, there’s "nun" better than Sister Isabella to solve the mystery.

In the quaint village of Santa Caterina, nestled in the sun-drenched Tuscan hills, a shocking murder disrupts the peaceful rhythm of life. Beloved local, Gaetano, a familiar figure at the Santa Caterina convent, is found dead by the river — and his loyal Saint Bernard, Caesar, is missing.

Sister Isabella, a clever and determined amateur sleuth, teams up with Carabiniere Matteo to follow clues through Tuscany's piazzas and rolling vineyards. Together, they uncover the truth about their friend's hidden past. Old Gaetano had many secrets and may not have been who he always claimed to be ...

Readers who love Vivian Conroy, Lorenzo Carcaterra and T.A. Williams’ Armstrong and Oscar series, will devour this charming Tuscan mystery full of sunshine, secrets and a sleuthing nun you’ll never forget.

Valentina Morelli has gained popularity with her cosy mysteries about Sister Isabella, a devoted follower of faith and an effective amateur detective. Death by the River is the second book in the series set in the heart of Tuscany.
