Captivating, delightful and quirky, The Maid’s Secret is a heartwarming mystery about haves and have nots, love versus responsibility, following your heart, and how it’s never too late to do the right thing. Nita Prose delivers another immensely satisfying edition to this engaging series.
Molly Gray is very happy. She’s added the role of special events manager to her duties as head maid at the Regency Grand Hotel, she’s about to marry the love of her life and a hit reality art appraisal TV show is about to film at her hotel. As part of the show, hotel staff can bring in items for appraisal and Molly is shocked to find out she possesses a long-lost Fabergé egg that’s worth millions. As the episode airs, she goes viral and is getting more attention than she ever wanted. And when the auction to sell the egg ends up with the valuable art piece going missing, with clues to this mystery residing in Molly’s late-grandmother’s diary, it turns Molly’s world upside down. Teaming up with friends and law enforcement, Molly must confront her family’s past to secure her safety in the present and allow her to pursue the loving future she dreams of.
Molly is undoubtedly the star of the show, her idiosyncratic behavior and goodhearted nature taking center stage. However, in The Maid’s Secret, it’s her beloved Gran who brings life to this novel. Yes, there’s a heist that drives the present-day narrative, but the real intriguing aspects of this story are the entries in Gran’s diary that tell her life story and provide the missing context on where Molly comes from. And it’s a complicated saga filled with situations that will make you cringe and moments that will tug on your emotional heartstrings. And in the end, it brings clarity and appreciation for how Molly has become the person she is today.
This is the perfect book to pick up and read while getting cozy in a comfy chair by a fire. Time flies by as you whip through the pages with an urgent desire to put this puzzle together and see Molly get the happily ever after she so deserves.
