About the Book:
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 a dusty old house, and everything else she's tidied away in her memory.
Because Molly knew the dead guest once upon a time – and she knows his secrets too.

My Thoughts:
Molly the Maid is back, this time as Head Maid, with a whole new mystery to solve. Molly is as delightfully deadpan as ever, and as old favourites mingle with newbies, the stage is set from the first page for an involving and circular mystery that will in the end, only be solved by Molly's ability to connect the dots, via her extensive experience with all things domestic.
We find out more about Molly in this one, her childhood and her beloved Gran, and also, a surprise at the end that is delightful for Molly and sets the stage for further stories, I hope. With an offer for a new career posed to Molly at the conclusion of this one, which direction will she choose to go? I think the series would be enjoyable either way.
Highly recommended but you'll need to have read The Maid for context and full enjoyment.
Thanks to the publisher for the copy.
