Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for The Maid's Secret

“Wonderful . . . The perfectly timed reveals in each story line complement each other, and Prose seamlessly integrates the tones of 1950s melodrama and zany contemporary caper. Energetic and full of heart, this proves that Prose’s series deserves a long run.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review

“A big-hearted examination of wealth and social class.”—Oprah Daily

“A glorious read . . . Intrigue, heart, and humanity in spades.”—Lucy Foley, New York Times bestselling author of The Midnight Feast

The love of family

This was the best book yet. Having Molly in present time and her Gran’s diary telling young Flora’s story was amazing. Great spins of who done it thru several parts. Looking forward to the next book.

Book is excellent, Lauren Ambrose’s performance was perfect

I love this series! I enjoyed Molly’s journey and if it had to end I think this was a perfect ending.

In this book we get more of Molly’s Gran’s backstory and the characters change a lot through her telling of the past. I thought it was perfect but I am also one who can accept character change well assuming it is well written- which I think it was. Lauren Ambrose is such an excellent narrator and I think she’s one of the few actors who can take a great book and make it even better through her narration without straying from the page.

I’m so happy I read this, if you loved the other books this one will not disappoint!

Like This Series

This may be the last of the series, as everything seemed pretty tidy at the end, but it is light and entertaining. With all the world's worries, listening to something where the main characters are good people is nice.

great story

Great story and kept on going with the flow as the other books. great series!

Best Yet

While I enjoyed the first two books, they were a little slow for me to get into. This book made all of that worth it though; such a great story and backstory tying pieces together. I can’t wait for the next one!

Good backstory

It was a good backstory but rather predictable as a whole done it, which is not uncommon for this series.

I love Molly the maid

Such a wonderful and charming story. I love the characters. It’s precious. So worth the credit.

Portrayal of Molly

I prefer listening to the Molly stories rather than reading them because the depiction of Molly is perfect.

Such a feel good book!

I’ve really enjoyed this series, and this book especially. Nita Prose is such a wonderful writer, and she has such a unique signature style - it’s hard not to read them too fast.

All of it.

I don’t know how she did but this cleverly written fourth installment about Molly the maid very well be my favorite!!! I think it was in part the way that Nita Prose makes you feel like you’re sitting in the same room as the characters, and also without giving too much away, the angle of the dear diary. Also. The narration. Hands down the best variety of voices! Absolutely loved it!
