Set in 1954, Murder at Gulls Nest introduces Nora Breen, a former nun who leaves her convent to investigate the sudden disappearance of her pen pal, Frieda. Nora travels to Gulls Nest, a charming hotel in the seaside town of Gore-on-Sea, Kent. Disguising her identity, she begins to pry into the lives of the hotel's guests, each of whom seems to be hiding a secret. As bizarre murders occur, Nora must uncover the truth before it's too late. Reviews Marian Keyes: "I'm a huge fan of Jess Kidd's books and Murder at Gulls Nest treated me to Kidd's trademark rich characterization, imaginative storytelling, and warmth. This seaside mystery is full of intrigue and features the unforgettable Nora Breen, a keen-eyed retired nun determined to unravel the mystery of her friend's disappearance. Highly recommended." Richard Armitage: "A gothic house, a retired nun, and vivid nostalgia stalk through the murky quagmire of murder. Nora Breen is an understated genius with wit and guts. Murder at Gulls Nest is crying out to be a recurring Sunday evening TV drama... sign me up!" Kirkus Reviews: "An undercover nun tracks the fate of a lost friend and solves a dastardly murder in an English seaside town. A delightful series kickoff in a cozy community primed for more murder."
