After thirty years in a convent, Nora Breen has thrown off her habit. Her fellow sister Frieda has gone missing and it's up to Nora to find her.

At long last, she has found an 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.

GuardianReaders love Murder at Gulls Nest ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A story that hooks you in and races you along. I loved it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The character observations are wonderful.
