Father Roberto and the Rural Riots: two heartwarming cosy mysteries

Two heartwarming cosy mysteries featuring a young priest in a Sicilian parish-perfect for fans of Chesterton’s Father Brown and Jan Karon’s Mitford series.

Father Roberto and the Rural Riots
Up in the Sicilian Madonie mountains, in the small town where everyone still remembers him as a baby, young Sicilian Catholic priest Father Roberto hopes to spend a relaxing holiday and let his parents pamper him.
Unfortunately his pompous older brother, Corrado, has had the same idea, and frictions begin.
But when Roberto’s beloved fir tree, the last of its species, is treacherously cut down in the middle of the night, Roberto will need Corrado’s help to find the culprit and stop the town’s rival families from killing each other.

Father Roberto and the Stolen Statue
After returning from a less-than-relaxing holiday, the last thing Father Roberto wants is another trip away from home-especially one where he’s in charge of a group of teenagers.
Things get worse in Lourdes when one of the most beloved statues in the Catholic world goes missing and all the clues point to Tano. This time, though, Roberto is not so sure that his young friend is innocent.

Also available in ebook and Large Print paperback.
