I was so happy to be back with Molly for another mystery and the conclusion of this series. I adored the diary section of this story and getting the backstory that I have wanted since book 1.

Following Molly as she unexpectedly becomes and then isn't a millionaire I was intrigued by the mystery and how this linked to the unravelling story in the past.

I absolutely devoured this book and couldn't put it down until I was finished. This was a really emotional read, I sobbed through the ending, both happy and sad tears and was so happy with how this book and series ended.

Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins, HarperFiction for the ARC!

Molly is back again! If you liked the first books you'll surely love the third novel about our quirky and lovable maid. The mystery is still great and the characters just as fantastic. A nice continuation to the series

This was just as enjoyable and easy to read as the others in this series. If you enjoyed those you will devour this. I love Nita Prose writing style and am so glad this one did not disappoint. Thank you Netgalley and Harper Colins for my ARC.

When I read some of the reviews I was worried I should t be reading it if it could possibly make me no longer love Molly and these books. I was sooooo wrong. Yes it is different to the others but I loved it just the same. As a true Molly fan this book answers all your questions regarding her beloved gran and her collection of curiosities. I mean how can Molly finally become the internet star we all knew she should be. The usual characters from the hotel are present who all have Mollys happiness at heart. I cannot wait for the next Molly book as il sure this will please others with her usual adventures. But seriously all Molly fans need to read this one in the series as it makes you love Molly and her grandparents even more.

The final instalment of the Molly the Maid series is here and it is time to say a fond farewell to Molly but not until she gets embroiled in one more mystery.

Molly is living her best life. She is engaged to be married, she has a great job at a hotel that she loves and her favourite antiques programme is coming to film in the Regency Grand hotel. When Molly takes her personal treasures she isn’t expecting much but like always, Molly gets flung into a high octane mystery.

With the help from her friends and a little guidance from her beloved dead grandma, Molly has to solve the mystery.

This really is a lovely series and a real tonic for anyone who tends to read heavy books.

The Maid’s Secret by Nita Prose is available now.

I really loved The Maid and The Mystery Guest. I found Molly totally charming and the stories, while essentially light fare, rich and engaging. So I was delighted to get the opportunity to read an ARC of The Maid's Secret.

There's a lot to like about this third book in the Molly trilogy, but I didn't love it. A large part (most??) of the story is about Molly's grandmother, going deep into her background. While this was interesting in and of itself, it wasn't a Molly book, but a Gran book. Molly is overshadowed.

It's a pity, because Molly is the character that readers have loved in this series, the character that enables us to suspend disbelief and get swept into the [truly unlikely] narrative of life in the Grand Regency hotel. With Molly playing second fiddle to Gran, a large part of the charm is lost.

Finally, Molly's love of cleaning barely figures in this story. Odd as it may sound, it's one of the aspects I liked best in the first two novels in the series.

It was lovely to return to Molly, Juan and all the other colourful characters at the Regency Grand. I enjoyed this story of the Faberge egg and it was also great to hear Flora's story via her diary. Cosy mystery at its best.

I did enjoy The Maid’s Secret, but for me it didn’t quite live up to the charm and sharpness of the earlier books. The biggest difference is the split narrative between Molly and Gran. On the plus side, this allowed for a much richer and more complete picture of Gran – someone we’d previously only glimpsed through Molly’s sometimes limited and very personal perspective. Getting to see her past, her choices, and the way her life shaped Molly was genuinely moving at times, and I appreciated how it added emotional weight to the series as a whole.

However, that shift in focus also meant Molly wasn’t quite as central or compelling as before. Her distinctive voice and quirky way of viewing the world was one of the main joys of the previous books, and with the attention divided, some of that unique spark was lost. The mystery itself felt a little more straightforward this time around too – I saw the main twist coming fairly early, so the tension and surprise factor weren’t quite there for me.

That being said, it was still an enjoyable read, especially in how it brought the series full circle. There’s a nice sense of resolution, and fans who have grown attached to these characters will probably appreciate the way everything ties together. It’s a softer, more reflective ending than I expected, but it works as a farewell to Molly and her world.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a copy in exchange for my honest thoughts.

I arrived late at the party with this trilogy of books missing the first book. I read the second and really enjoyed it, but have to say I loved this book.
It was lovely to return to Molly the Maid and crew, working in the Regency Grand Hotel.
I very much enjoy the writers style, it is different and refreshing.
A cozy mystery romance with the extremely likeable Molly at the centre.
The story is told in two timelines, Flora Gray, Molly’s beloved late grandmother telling her story of growing up, and how her life was shaped, and Molly in present time.
I just loved reading this book. The proverbs, and rhyming sentences take me back in time. Some I haven’t heard for years.
It’s a heartfelt book.
I will miss Molly.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Publisher for an advanced e-book copy. Opinions about the book are entirely my own.

I enjoyed the first book in this series and looked forward to finding out what happened to Molly in this third book,but I was a bit disappointed,as it was really more of a dual narrative,telling the story of Molly’s grandmother through her diaries as well as the story of Molly potentially becoming very wealthy after the discovery of an heirloom.
I found I had to suspend belief,as it seemed quite unlikely that Flora,the grandmother, could have changed so radically from the teenager she was portrayed as being,and the older woman she became. I honestly don’t think people behaved that way in the 1950s- did servants really bow and curtsy to their employers in those days?
So ,while it passed a few hours,I don’t think it was the best book I’ve read recently.
Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for an ARC in return for an honest review which reflects my own opinion.

I enjoyed the first 2 Molly the Maid books so the third one was an obvious choice for me. However, I felt that the harsh divide between the Gran and the Molly chapters was too polarising. To be honest, I felt that the Gran chapters changed her character too much to bring this late into the series, and I didn’t enjoy them as much. I wanted the focus to be more of Molly and her life, much like the first 2. I found myself skimming the Gran chapters just to get back to the main story. Because of the this, the Molly story felt too quick and short to really wrap up the series. I would recommend the first 2 but the 3rd fell flat for me.

It was such a delight to be back with Molly and friends. She is very lovable character and the development of her character by Nita Prose has been a joy to read. Molly lives in a very particular way, often seen by some as peculiar, she has high standards and as such often struggles to understand those around her who do not share her passion. This latest instalment in the series, sees Molly preparing for her wedding to her beloved Juan and the young couple are facing financial challenges. In a surprising turn of events, Molly is faced with the prospect of a large windfall, what follows is a wonderful tale of mystery, secrets and many scenes which will have the reader hook from the start. I certainly was and I highly recommend this title to anyone who enjoys a cosy crime, lovable characters and an incredible twist. Thank you Harper Collins and NetGalley for the review copy.

Things are looking up for Molly the Maid. Head Maid and in charge of special events at the hotel where she works, engaged to be married and loving her life.

A left treasure from her beloved grandmother is about to cause a sensation. It is worth money, lots of it but then it is stolen from the very hotel where she works and of course with her reputation, she is the one to solve the crime.

The answer lies in a diary her grandmother kept and tells the story of a romance and how love can sometimes conquer all.

Cosy mystery with an interesting characters, subtle humour and a warmth that you do not get with other books in this genre.

I fell in love with Molly the Maid in the first book, and every subsequent book gave us more of her story. This book peels the curtain even more as we learn about Molly’s grandmother. Molly strikes it rich on a TV show that appraises people’s treasures, and there’s a surprise in store for Molly and her family! 4 stars.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley, I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Nita Prose has my heart. Molly the Maid has my heart. And I wasn’t ready for this series to end, and I am going to miss this glorious world. It’s hard to say much without spoiling the series as a whole, but please please please buy these books!!

Molly the maid returns in’The Maid’s Secret’ and her life is turned upside down in this 3rd book of the series.

Molly’s life runs on routine and order both at home and at work but that all changes when an antiques show is filmed at the Regency Grand Hotel where she works and an item that she takes in for appraisal turns out to be possibly priceless.

Molly is unwittingly thrown into a media frenzy and everybody wants a piece of her which is far too unsettling for her and her forthcoming wedding plans. A spanner is thrown in the works which leaves Molly with another mystery to solve which makes for an entertaining read.

It’s impossible not to love Molly as a main character and it’s great to see a neuro-divergent character front row and center. I hope to see more in the series in the future to see what lies ahead for Molly.

The Maid's Secret is the final installment of the series and I'm absolutely gutted to end the journey with Molly! She's been an absolute delight from the very start and this didn't disappoint. I loved the mystery, the returning cast of quirky characters, everything about Molly and her mannerisms, and getting to know more of Molly's Grans backstory!

If you enjoy a cosy crime, murder mystery set in a bustling London hotel then you'll want to check this out.

Nita Prose is an auto buy author for me now and I can't wait to see what else she has to offer..

‘The Maid’s Secret’ is the third book in the Molly the maid series by author Nita Prose.

Molly is now Head Maid and newly appointed Special Events Manager of the Regency Grand Hotel. With a wedding to her loving fiancé Juan Manuel only two months away, things are finally falling into place for Molly or so she thought. When the team from a reality TV show, Hidden Treasures arrives at the hotel all sorts of chaos follows. Molly gets an appraisal of her late Gran’s belongings and everyone is amazed when one of the items is revealed to be very rare and priceless. Molly is suddenly the centre of attention and very wealthy, but just as quickly, the treasure vanishes in what becomes a headline-making heist.

I have read and enjoyed the other novels in this series so was really looking forward to this one. This one was a little different to the other books in the series in that it is not just an whodunit but we learn more of Molly’s past and family. Through a long-lost diary, Molly uncovers secrets from her Gran’s privileged past, learning of a forbidden love and a connection that changes everything she thought she knew. Switching between past and present the novel works well dealing with Molly’s personal story as well as the unravelling of the crime.
The strength of the novel for me was the very good characters that came to life in this cosy crime novel.

I would like to thank both Netgalley and Harper Collins UK for supplying a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

I am always glad to get back to Molly the Maid's adventures. This time is directly concerns her life! What an amazing character. I love her so much!

I would like to thank Netgalley and the published for providing me with the e-copy.

In all honesty, I was really disappointed with the third installment of Molly’s adventures.

I absolutely loved the first book in the series, but this one fell really short of my expectations.

The ‘heist’ was really underwhelming. I found the host of the Antiques Roadshow style appraisal programme irritating and unlikeable. And the idea that Molly had a priceless Faberge egg just sitting on a shelf was a bit daft.

Much of the book is her Grandmother Flora’s diary. And young Flora is a million miles away from the wise, caring woman that raises her granddaughter. The whole family is just so awful, with attitudes that seem ridiculously outdated for the time period.

There were some moments of magic, but sadly this one didn’t hit the mark for me.

Thank you to NetGalley for my gifted digital copy of The Maid’s Secret.
