Molly Gray is not like anyone else. With her flair for cleaning and proper etiquette, she has risen through the ranks of the glorious five-star Regency Grand Hotel to become the esteemed Head Maid. But just as her life reaches a pinnacle state of perfection, her world is turned upside down when J.D. Grimthorpe, the world-renowned mystery author, drops dead—very dead—on the hotel’s tea room floor. When Detective Stark, Molly's old foe, investigates the author’s unexpected demise, it becomes clear that this death was murder most foul. Suspects abound, and everyone wants to know who killed J.D. Grimthorpe? Was it Lily, the new Maid-in-Training? Or was it Serena, the author’s secretary? Could Mr. Preston, the hotel’s beloved doorman, be hiding something? And is Molly really as innocent as she seems? As the case threatens the hotel’s pristine reputation, Molly knows she alone holds the key to unlocking the killer's identity. But that key is buried deep in her past—because long ago, she knew J.D. Grimthorpe. Molly begins to comb her memory for clues, revisiting her childhood and the mysterious Grimthorpe mansion where she and her dearly departed Gran once worked side by side. With the entire hotel under investigation, Molly must solve the mystery post-haste. If there's one thing Molly knows for sure, it's that dirty secrets don't stay buried forever...

Molly the maid is back with another murder mystery! I absolutely love reading from Molly’s point of view. She has such a refreshing outlook on everything and I love the way she phrases things.
When a guest speaker, famous author J. D. Grimthorpe, drops dead in the middle of his speech, Molly gets wrapped up in another murder investigation. The author was obviously poisoned, but who did it?
Molly uses her attention to detail and memories from her past to help the lead detective solve the case.
This was such a quick and fun read. The author uses witty remarks, carefully placed clues, and unique characters to make this mystery so captivating.
I hope there will be another Molly the maid sequel coming soon!
