Molly Gray is not like anyone else. With her flair for cleaning and proper etiquette, she has risen through the ranks of the glorious five-star Regency Grand Hotel to become the esteemed Head Maid. But just as her life reaches a pinnacle state of perfection, her world is turned upside down when J. D. Grimthorpe, the world-renowned mystery author, drops dead—very dead—on the hotel’s tearoom floor.

When Detective Stark, Molly’s old foe, investigates the author’s unexpected demise, it becomes clear that this death was murder most foul. Suspects abound, and everyone wants to know: Who killed J. D. Grimthorpe? Was it Lily, the new Maid-in-Training? Or was it Serena, the author’s secretary? Could Mr. Preston, the hotel’s beloved doorman, be hiding something? And is Molly really as innocent as she seems?

As the high-profile death threatens the hotel’s pristine reputation, Molly knows she alone holds the key to unlocking the killer’s identity. But that key is buried deep in her past, as long ago, she knew J. D. Grimthorpe. Molly begins to comb her memory for clues, revisiting her childhood and the mysterious Grimthorpe mansion where she and her dearly departed Gran once worked side by side. With the entire hotel under investigation, Molly must solve the mystery posthaste. Because if there’s one thing she knows for sure, it’s that secrets don’t stay buried forever.

Molly is an interesting character.

The writing is just too simple and predictable. The narrator is weak, not even an accent for the Hispanic boyfriend. Just average though well meaning.

Eyes on Maid

Very enjoyable story that kept me gripped in this mystery where once again a maid was involved.

Molly’s Continued Devotion

It was so nice to revisit Molly and go back into the hotel with her. I just love that she is a person who sees things literally and that she follows what is right to do in life at all times. It is so refreshing to listen to a person like that.

I thought the storyline was very good. The mystery was great and performance excellent!

The maid 2

(Spoiler) The person who narrates the book is incredible and makes these books amazing ! This story was almost better than the first! I love Molly she is the coolest character ! I hope there is another book with her becoming an investigator

Molly is back!

I found this sequel to be in some ways a bit more somber than the debut novel. In this book we get a deeper glimpse into Molly’s childhood, some parts of which are a little sad. Nevertheless, she triumphs in her characteristic, detail-oriented style. A solid read. Looking forward to the next one!
