Fans of the Molly the Maid will be happy to jump into this new adventure at the Regency Hotel. The Maid’s Secret by Nita Prose is the 3rd novel in the Molly the Maid series (4th if you consider the Christmas novella). In this latest book, Molly discovers that her Fabergé egg is worth millions but when the egg vanishes, Molly must once again piece together the mystery with her beloved fiancé Juan.
I am a big fan of Molly; as someone who cares for a person with autism, I find it refreshing to see a main character in a popular series who also displays neurodivergent traits. I am equally grateful that Molly is a model of a person being successful in the workplace, where her skills are recognized to their full value.
This book alternates between present day and flashbacks to Gran’s (Flora’s) youth, through diary entries that Gran left to Flora in the months before her passing. I loved this twist, enjoyed delving into Flora’s wealthy upbringing and seeing how her story intersects with Molly current-day situation.
Molly is an endearing and relatable character. This is a solid 4 star read to me. I recommend it and look forward to future installments.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for granting me an advance copy in exchange for my honest review.
