DO NOT DISTURB. WHODUNNIT IN PROGRESS . . .
Molly Gray wears her Head Maid badge proudly for every shift at the Regency Grand Hotel: plumping pillows, sweeping up secrets, silently restoring rooms to a state of perfection. But the hotel’s reputation is sullied when a guest – a famous mystery writer – drops very dead on the tearoom floor.
As suspicion swirls 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 . . .

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Everyone’s favourite hotel maid is back and this time the star of 2022’s The Maid has been promoted to head maid at the Regency Grand Hotel. Fans of Nita Prose’s original heroine will find that Molly still has the innocence that made her so endearing in The Maid, but this time she comes with more of an edge. When famous author JD Grimthorpe collapses during a speech in the opening pages of the book, Molly once again finds herself at the centre of a murder investigation, sharpening her detective skills as she’s reunited with old nemesis Detective Stark. The Mystery Guest is just as cosy as its prequel, with plenty of nostalgic trips down memory lane as Molly delves into her past in an effort to learn more about what happened to Grimthorpe. A quirky, well-paced page-turner that warms the heart.
