Murder at Gull's Nest is a delightful mystery with eccentric characters that keep you guessing from the first to the last page.

Gull's Nest is a boarding house for what appears to be mainly misfits and one of their own goes missing followed by a death in house.

Nora is a friend of the missing woman so she leaves the nunhood and heads to the small costal town to find out what ever happened.

Can she solve the mystery.

Nora is a delight and for the most part all of them trust her and will confide in her but Nora just knows there is more to the story than anyone is saying

The detective on the case realizes that Nora is further ahead then the police and he reluctantly listens to her. Its a fun and complicated relationship .

Twists and turns with quite a few red herrings keep the pages turning.

I certainly hope we see Nora and the detective again soon.

Thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster Canada/Atria books for the privilege of reading and reviewing Murder at Gull's Nest.

Murder at Gulls Nest was such an unexpected pleasure! Set in 1954, we meet Nora Breen, a mid-aged woman who's just been released from her vows as a nun. Nora is worried that her younger friend, also a former nun, is in danger as her letters have stopped arriving. With questions in hand, Nora heads off to her last known location, Gore-on-Sea in Kent and its small boarding house, Gulls Nest. Nora quickly immerses her self in the home and is determined to uncover the truth of her friend's disappearance as well as the questionable behaviour of Gulls Nest's guests despite being repeatedly asked to leave things alone by the local police.
Murder at Gulls Nest is a cozy, creative murder mystery full of inquisitive characters that will stick around with you for a long time. I so look forward to reading more of Nora's adventures in future releases!
