About Seaside Sleuth - Eighteen91

What does a sharp-eyed former nun do after spending 30 years in a convent? A little seaside sleuthing!

Join bestselling author Jess Kidd as she introduces the irresistible Nora Breen, who swaps her habit for the salty air of the fictional seaside town of Gore-on-Sea. In Murder at Gulls Nest, Nora discovers that life at a shabby guest house serves up more than disappointing dinners. When one of the lodgers is found dead, she's soon on the trail of a killer.

Praised by Marian Keyes, who said she was "wildly charmed", the first novel launched a delightful new crime series. Now Jess returns with the eagerly awaited second instalment, Murder at the Spirit Lounge, promising another deliciously twisty mystery by the sea.

In conversation with festival patron Kate Fenton, expect wit, warmth and murder most entertaining - the perfect way to open Whitby Lit Fest.
