A new mess.
A new mystery.
Molly the maid returns . . .
Molly Gray wears her Head Maid badge proudly for every shift at the Regency Grand Hotel, plumping pillows, sweeping up the guests’ secrets, silently restoring rooms to a state of perfection.
But when a renowned guest – a famous mystery writer – drops very dead in the grand tea room, Molly has an unusual clean-up on her hands.
As rumours and suspicion swirl in the hotel corridors, it’s clear there’s grime lurking beneath the gilt. And Molly knows that she alone holds the key to the mystery. But unlocking it means thinking about the past, about Gran, and everything else she’s kept tidied away in her memory for so long.
Because Molly knew the dead guest once upon a time – and he knew her . . .

My Opinion
"The Mystery Guest" by Nita Prose is a captivating mystery thriller and the second installment in the "Molly, The Maid" series. This medium-paced book centers around Molly, who once again takes on the role of an amateur detective. The plot starts off quickly but slows down in the middle. Unlike the first book, this story delves into themes of sexual harassment, adding depth to the murder mystery. The real excitement begins after you’ve read more than half of the book. Although I enjoyed the first book, I felt this one could have been more engaging if other characters were given more development, as it primarily focuses on Molly and her struggles. Nevertheless, if you're looking for a light read to finish within a day, "The Mystery Guest" is a great choice. I would rate it 4 stars.
