Father Roberto and the Missing Money: two heartwarming cosy mysteries

Two short cosy mysteries featuring a young Catholic priest in a Sicilian parish-perfect for fans of Father Brown, Sister Boniface and Don Matteo.

The Holiday Heist:
When young Sicilian Catholic priest Father Roberto finds an envelope full of cash lying on the floor by the church’s nativity scene, he assumes it’s a Christmas donation for his cash-strapped parish.
But it turns out that the unexpected windfall isn’t for keeping, and it lands the inexperienced priest in a heap of trouble just at the parish’s busiest time of year-the run-up to Christmas. Only by finding the real culprits can Father Roberto rid himself of the suspicion of robbery and get back to doing the job he loves.
The Missing Money:
In the seminary, nobody taught Father Roberto how to take a large group of children safely across a busy Palermo road. But as the young priest learns the ropes of being a children’s summer camp leader for the parish, an unexpected problem emerges: the money put aside for the children’s activities keeps disappearing.
Just as Roberto believes he’s found the culprit, he discovers that the innocent are guilty and the guilty are innocent.
