And Then There Was Nun
Podrobnosti o audioknize
Welcome back to Maidenwell, where the Christmas snow is falling—but so are the bodies.
Hired as the eyes and ears of eccentric billionaire Matthias Loneskum, Gina Biletti thought she’d signed up for a tranquil life in Maidenwell, enjoying cozy tea shops, quaint cottages, and harmless village gossip. Little did she know that the holiday season would bring a chilling turn to the village’s idyllic charms.
As Christmas approaches, an engagement party for Matthias’ overachieving sister, Beatrix, sets the stage for murder and mystery. And everyone on the guest list has their own agenda: a bewitching young nun, a suspiciously suave ex-con, an enigmatic foreign businessman, and a group of ambitious young tech entrepreneurs competing for a $5 million start-up prize.
Just as Gina decides maybe, just maybe, she can relax and enjoy her mulled wine, a gunshot rings out, disrupting a Christmas outing in Maidenwell’s snowy forest. Before you can say “figgy pudding,” tragedy strikes again with a jaw-dropping “suicide,” flipping Gina’s cozy world on its head.
As if on cue, a massive winter storm seals the village up like a snow globe, and Gina faces a dreadful realization. She is trapped with a cunning and cold-blooded killer. Can she unravel the truth before another body falls, or will this be her first and last Christmas in Maidenwell?
Book Two in the Murderwell Mysteries series, AND THEN THERE WAS NUN, is a suspenseful Christmas romp, garnished with humor, unexpected twists, and a dash—or maybe a blizzard—of holiday charm.

O autorovi
Hello,
B.G. Wood here, the author of the Murderwell Mysteries.
If you’re into sleepy English style villages with a side of homicide, you’re in the right place.
As a kid, I was glued to the TV watching Columbo reruns with my mom—I guess you could say my love for mysteries started young and never let up. My dad introduced me to the charm of quaint English villages like Burton-on-Water in the Cotswolds and I’ve been hooked ever since. Maybe that’s why my protagonist, Gina Biletti, finds herself navigating murder and mayhem in a similar setting.
Just like Gina, I’m a New York suburbanite who flew the coop for the West Coast. These days, you’ll find me in the high desert of Central Oregon (just a few hours drive from the fictional Maidenwell) where I’m no stranger to the odd alpaca, fox, or magpie (in addition to a couple of very demanding rescue dogs: chow chow and Husky mix if you must know!)
Now, here’s where it gets a little weird: When I’m not spinning mysteries, I’m diving into 19th century history or exploring high tech futures. An author’s got to stretch themselves, right?
