And it's probably my favourite. Why? Molly is such a wonderful character. She works at the upscale Regency Grand Hotel as a maid. "Every day of work is a joy to me."
Now, the other thing you need to know about Molly is that she struggles with social skills and often can't read the nuances of interactions - facial and conversational. Her beloved Gran, now deceased, left her with routines and rules to help navigate a world that Molly doesn't fully 'get'. And it has helped - Molly has made friends, has a job with more authority and last but not least - a man she loves.
Throughout the previous books there have been hints as to Gram's past. In The Maid's Secret, those revelations finally see light. Gram has left Molly the answers she's been looking for. At the same time, there a mystery to solve. And a connection that is surprising. Prose weaves all of this together in a way I couldn't have imagined. I stayed up late - I just had to know what the last pages would bring. A satisfying ending and this "...the final thrilling instalment in Nita Prose's bestselling Molly the maid series." But I'm sure Nita Prose has many more stories to tell.

This will be the last Molly book? Interesting. I've only read the first one, but intend to continue the series. Thanks for sharing about this new one!
It surprised me too! I really loved Molly. That is a quote from the publisher. We'll see...
It’s already archived. Pity.
I started listening to the series on Audible and continued that tradition with Book 2 - plan on continuring that with Book 3! The narrator's voice has become Molly's for me.
That was quick! I'm sorry you did not get a chance to read it.
I listened to one and I agree with you. Don't forget there is a Xmas novella.
