Review: The Maid's Secret - Book #3 Molly the Maid Series - Nita Prose - April 2025
Molly Gray is back for one last mystery at the Regency Grand Hotel, and what a final adventure it is! In The Maid's Secret, Nita Prose delivers another delightful, heartwarming, and intricately woven story featuring the lovable yet complex Molly the Maid. This installment brings together elements of family secrets, hidden pasts, and a thrilling mystery that keeps readers engaged until the very last page.
Molly has now risen through the ranks to become the esteemed Head Maid of the Regency Grand Hotel, a role she takes immense pride in. Her meticulous nature and deep-rooted love for cleaning—instilled in her by her beloved Gran—make her a perfect fit for maintaining the hotel's pristine reputation. But when a theft threatens to tarnish the hotel's image, Molly finds herself entangled in yet another puzzle that demands her unique perspective.
What sets this novel apart is its deep dive into Molly’s personal history. While she’s busy solving the present-day mystery, she stumbles upon an even more intriguing enigma—secrets hidden within her Gran’s diary. The diary reveals a past she never could have imagined, raising questions about why her Gran cut ties with certain people and kept these truths from her. As Molly untangles these revelations, readers are taken on a dual-timeline journey that beautifully explores the impact of family secrets and self-discovery.
One of the reasons I felt a strong connection to this series is because of Molly’s character. As someone on the spectrum, she approaches the world in a way that feels both authentic and refreshing. Her literal interpretations, her struggle with social nuances, and her deep love for structure make her an incredibly relatable protagonist. Nita Prose does a brilliant job portraying Molly’s unique perspective with warmth and respect, making her one of the most memorable and endearing characters in contemporary fiction.
This book also brought back memories of my mum and her love for Antiques Roadshow. The themes of uncovering hidden histories, the appreciation for things long forgotten, and the excitement of revealing truths all resonated deeply. However, it also brought a bittersweet feeling—knowing this is the last installment in the Molly the Maid series. Saying goodbye to a character I’ve felt so at home with is never easy, but I’m grateful for the journey.
Reading The Maid's Secret was another reminder of why I love being a book reviewer—getting the chance to experience incredible stories before they hit the shelves. With its April release date, readers still have time to anticipate this final chapter in Molly’s story, and I can confidently say that it’s a mystery worth unraveling.
