Last Mass is the first (and only, so far) title in the Ginevra Casabuoni series by C.G. Griffin. This looks self-pubbed (Reyna's Press???) but I have personally read and liked this title via KU, enough that I am hoping Griffin will write another. (In the spirit of disclosure, I really really like historical mysteries, so am a bit biased...).
In any case,
Last Mass has been US Kindle Countdown in the past, and is KU, but it is also just plain FREE
right now at Kindle US, not sure why or for how long.

Quote:
In the summer of 1462, the city of Florence is preparing to celebrate the feast of San Giovanni Batista, and the only hope of solving a murder rests in the unlikely but capable hands of a Renaissance housewife.
Ginevra Casabuoni, is aware that no one in Santa Fiammetta parish was happy with Jacopo Sapone, not after what he did at the last Mass in their beloved neighborhood church. When he turns up dead, most of the local people are happy believe that someone has taken divine retribution into their own hands. Official suspicion, however, lights on Ginevra’s husband, Francesco. With the able assistance of her mother-in-law, the formidable Monna Veronica, Ginevra sets out to clear her husband’s name, find a killer, and prepare for an impending holiday dinner.
