I read Nita Prose’s first novel, The Maid, in December 2022 and found its quirky protagonist and story delightful. So, I was eager to enjoy Molly Gray, the maid, a second time in The Mystery Guest: A Maid Novel.
This is an entertaining and fun stand-alone novel where the story’s clever, endearing, and reluctant amateur sleuth, head maid at the Regency Grand Hotel, manages to see what others don’t and solves a renowned mystery author’s murder.
I chose to listen to the story as I had with Nita Prose’s first book, and, like the first, was not disappointed by the audio version. With the author’s great storytelling and Lauren Ambrose’s narration, the characters definitely came alive.
If you like traditional mysteries with clever plotting, unusual characters, and laughs along the way, then you’ll likely enjoy The Mystery Guest by Nita Prose.
