Murder at Gulls Nest

A Novel

By: Jess Kidd
Narrated by: Siobhan McSweeney
Length: 9 hours 54 minutes

“I really enjoyed this mystery. Cozy, without being cloying. A high body count, but not bloody. A touch of romance, a touch of humor, and a seaside town in the off season. I was a little hesitant when the synopsis described the heroine as a ex-nun, but she’s an ex-nun of the best sort. The narrator is terrific. Read more
