Reviews
Kidd shows a keen understanding of how thin the boundary between the magic and the mundane is for children and treats their understanding of the world with seriousness and compassion. Her prose has an arresting simplicity that evokes fairy tales, and the echoes between Mayken's and Gil's experiences are treats for the reader to discover. An ambitious, melancholy work of historical fiction that offers two wondrous young protagonists for the price of one., "I read Jess Kidd's prose with the same mix of marvel and delight as a fine art dealer on the Antiques Roadshow examines a treasure. Sometimes it's the canny, polished phrase that enables you to set the scene as though you were in it (an encounter with a curious child is like "two generals appraising one another across the battlefield of a dingy hearth rug"). Other times, it's her off-kilter, yet still on the nose, descriptions, and coming across them is like finding little diamonds in the grass. Her latest is the first in a new series about a woman, Nora Breen, freshly released from her religious vows, who shows up at a shabby seaside hotel. She's in search of a friend who disappeared shortly after writing to tell Nora she suspected fellow hotel guests were hiding secrets. Rich on detail and atmosphere, with plenty of suspense and sharp humor, this reads like a Miss Marple mystery if Miss M. were disinclined to hide her smarts under a bushel." --Vannessa Cronin, Amazon Editor, "Kidd's turn to cozy mysteries after several genre-stretching novels is a welcome one that tantalizes the prospect of more installments. As Nora adroitly observes, "There's work to be done and deductions to be made." --The New York Times Book Review " Murder at Gulls Nest is perfect for cozy mystery lovers who love a historical novel with complex themes that also possesses a great sense of humor." --Book Riot's Read This Book, "Miraculous and thrilling . . . A few pages in and I was determined to read every word Jess Kidd has ever written. " -- DIANE SETTERFIELD, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Thirteenth Tale and Once Upon a River "A perfect mix of hilarity, the macabre, and a touch of romance, THINGS IN JARS is ridiculously entertaining, all as it sneaks up and makes you feel things. Would that more books had such daring. The language is perfection. Simply: Jess Kidd is so good it isn''t fair." -- ERIKA SWYLER , bestselling author of The Book of Speculation and Light from Other Stars " Things in Jars is an extraordinary tale full of dark magic, wicked humour, and hugely entertaining characters all of whom are beautifully drawn. An absolute treat!." -- RUTH HOGAN , author of The Keeper of Lost Things "Kidd ( Mr. Flood''s Last Resort , 2018, etc.) is an expert at setting a supernatural mood perfect for ghosts and merrows, but her human villains make them seem mundane by comparison. With so much detail and so many clever, Dickensian characters, readers might petition Kidd to give Bridie her own series. Creepy, violent, and propulsive; a standout gothic mystery." -- KIRKUS REVIEWS (starred) "Kidd has created a captivating cast of characters and delivers a richly woven tapestry of fantasy, folklore, and history. The atmosphere is thick with myriad unpleasant smells on offer, and readers may find themselves wrinkling their noses, but they will keep turning the pages. Recommend to fans of Ruth Hogan''s The Keeper of Lost Things (2017) and Sarah Perry''s The Essex Serpent (2017)." -- BOOKLIST (starred) "Kidd has fashioned enjoyable, indelible characters and a plot that keeps readers guessing, smiling and maybe even flinching." -- MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE "An enchanting mix of fact and fairytale for those looking for an out of the ordinary mystery." -- HUFFINGTON POST "Jess Kidd''s stories are so magical, she should be a genre all to herself ... Things in Jars is exquisite. Perfect storytelling." -- JOANNA CANNON , author of The Trouble with Goats and Sheep "This unusual Victorian detective tale is hugely satisfying and beautifully written . . . Kidd gives the world what is instantly one of fiction''s great spectral double acts." -- THE TIMES (UK) "This pacy piece of Victorian crime fiction delivers chills galore ... done with panache ... Her imagination runs wild, in tightly controlled prose. Her concision makes the book feel like a high-pressure jar." -- THE GUARDIAN "Thrilling, mysterious, twisted but more than anything, beautifully written and filled to bursting point with heart." -- GRAHAM NORTON , New York Times bestselling author of Holding "The murky grotesqueries of Victorian London. The misfits, miscreants and monsters. The tenderness found in the most unexpected of places. I savoured every page of Things in Jars. " -- CLAIRE MCGLASSON , author of The Rapture " Things in Jars drew me in from the first sentence and held me, transfixed. Utterly beguiling and original, Jess Kidd writes so beautifully that every sentence was a delight. This novel deserves to soar." -- HOLLY CAVE , author of The Memory Chamber "A twisting, precis-defying plot . . . Arresting, funny and well-written." -- SUNDAY TIMES "A masterclass in storytelling. One of those books that truly does make you laugh out loud, that shakes and remakes what you think a story can be. It''s rare to find a book so satisfying." -- KIRAN MILLWOOD HARGRAVE , author of The Mercies, Praise for The Night Ship "Kidd's latest weaves a spell around the reader, transporting them across centuries, between a doomed ship and a dying island. The result is a true work of magic, and one that will haunt me for years." -- V.E. SCHWAB , international bestselling author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, Praise for Jess Kidd "Jess Kidd is so good it isn't fair." -- ERIKA SWYLER , bestselling author of The Book of Speculation and Light from Other Stars "A few pages in and I was determined to read every word Jess Kidd has ever written. " -- DIANE SETTERFIELD , for Things in Jars " Jess Kidd is an author who shows a poet's way with words and rhythm." -- Electric Literature

Synopsis
From Jess Kidd, the bestselling author of Things in Jars who "is so good it isn't fair" (Erika Swyler, nationally bestselling author), the first in a cozy mystery series about a former nun who searches for answers in a small seaside town after her pen pal mysteriously disappears. I believe every one of us at Gulls Nest is concealing some kind of secret. 1954: When her former novice's dependable letters stop, Nora Breen asks to be released from her vows. Haunted by a line in Frieda's letter, Nora arrives at Gulls Nest, a charming hotel in Gore-on-Sea in Kent. A seaside town, a place of fresh air and relaxed constraints, is the perfect place for a new start. Nora hides her identity and pries into the lives of her fellow guests. But when a series of bizarre murders rattles the occupants of Gulls Nest it's time to ask if a dark past can ever really be left behind.
