Somewhere in the north, a religious community meets for Vespers. Here on the southeast coast, Nora Breen prepares for braised liver and a dining room full of strangers. 


After thirty years in a convent, Nora Breen has thrown off her habit and set her sights on the seaside town of Gore-on-Sea. Why there? Why now? Instinct tells her it’s better not to reveal her reasons straight away. She takes a room at Gulls Nest guest house and settles in to watch and listen. 


Over disappointing – and sometimes downright inedible – dinners, Nora realises that she was right to keep quiet: her fellow lodgers are hiding something. At long last, she has found an outlet for her powers of observation and, well, nosiness: there is a mystery to solve, and she is the only person for the job.

 

'HIGHLY recommended' Marian Keyes'Nora Breen will become a favourite character.' Ian Moore'Nora Breen is Maria Von Trapp on steroids.' Richard Armitage'A seaside mystery full of intrigue and secrets.' Olivia Kiernan The first in a sparkling new 1950s seaside mystery series, featuring sharp-eyed former nun Nora Breen. In a house like Gulls Nest, curiosity might prove fatal . .

. After thirty years in a convent, Nora Breen has thrown off her habit and set her sights on the seaside town of Gore-on-Sea. Her fellow sister Frieda has gone missing and it's up to Nora to find her.

Nora's only clue is that Frieda was last seen at Gulls Nest boarding House. So she travels down, takes a room and settles in to watch and listen. Over dubious - and sometimes downright inedible - dinners, Nora gathers evidence about the other lodgers and what they knew about Frieda.

At long last, Nora has found the perfect outlet for her powers of observation and, well, nosiness. When one of the lodgers is found dead, Nora decides she must find the murderer. Not least because she suspects the victim knew Frieda.

Could solving this mystery help her to understand what has happened to her friend? 'Kidd has imagination to die for and a real command of plot and character.' Guardian
