Murder at Gulls Nest
Murder at Gulls Nest | Jess Kidd
4 posts | 8 read | 6 to read
From Jess Kidd, the bestselling author of Things in Jars who "is so good it isn't fair" (Erika Swyler, nationally bestselling author), the first in a cozy mystery series about a former nun who searches for answers in a small seaside town after her pen pal mysteriously disappears. I believe every one of us at Gulls Nest is concealing some kind of secret. 1954: When her former novice's dependable letters stop, Nora Breen asks to be released from her vows. Haunted by a line in Frieda's letter, Nora arrives at Gulls Nest, a charming hotel in Gore-on-Sea in Kent. A seaside town, a place of fresh air and relaxed constraints, is the perfect place for a new start. Nora hides her identity and pries into the lives of her fellow guests. But when a series of bizarre murders rattles the occupants of Gulls Nest it's time to ask if a dark past can ever really be left behind.

I had a hard time seeing the Nora we meet on the page as a nun for 30 years. But I really liked the dynamic she had with the Inspector and the mystery was well plotted. I‘ll likely pick up the next, if the series continues.

Nora looks out at the priceless view. There‘s a break in the cloud and enough blue to clothe any number of sailors.

My gran used to say this - an expression I've not heard in a while.

quietlycuriouskate My Nan used to say if there's enough blue sky to make a sailor a pair of trousers then it means fine weather is coming. 3w

This is the first book in a cozy mystery series following Nora Breen, a former nun who has left her monastery to investigate the disappearance of her pen pal and also former nun, Freida. It felt like an episode of Midsomer Murders and I really enjoyed it! I liked the small town atmosphere and Nora‘s character, and her banter with the Inspector was top notch. I‘m definitely looking forward to continuing the series. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
