This one had a very Amelia Bedelia vibe that I found harder to get behind. Maybe because there was no murder mystery 🤷‍♀️

ShyBookOwl Amelia Bedelia 😅 I haven't thought about her in ages! 1w
Librarybelle That is a good description of this one! 1w

This between the books novella was fun and the mystery was the twist. Cute and it‘s always good to spend time with Molly and the gang.

Finished this @ the Tampa airport while I was waiting for my flight home! A very cute novella! I love Molly‘s character! I‘m eager to read the new Maid novel coming out in April! I don‘t think you need to read the previous 2 books to follow it, but I definitely recommend them bc they‘re so good!! I have a soft spot for Molly bc she is on the autism spectrum (although it‘s not specifically stated) like me!

I felt slightly underwhelmed with this one, and maybe it‘s because shorter stories usually seem lacking to me. Poor Molly does not pick up on the clues that lead to the unveiling. But, fear not…the next in the series comes out in Spring 2025!

Hooked_on_books I think this series in particular works better in the longer format. 1mo
Librarybelle Agreed, @Hooked_on_books . I read your review of this and felt the same way. 1mo

While I enjoyed this between the books novella, this is a series that I feel benefits from the novel-length story to flesh it out. It was fun to spend time with these characters, but it felt a little sparse, so a low pick for me. Once again, Lauren Ambrose is perfection as the audio reader.

This was the story that we needed about Molly the Maid. Molly is one of my favorite characters.

Molly truly has a very important mystery on her hands when she notices that her boyfriend, Juan Manuel, starts acting strange in the days leading up to Christmas. I think Molly is so relatable and so real. This novella was heartwarming and had me crying happy tears.

Thank you so much to the publisher for an advance copy of this novel via NetGalley!

I absolutely loved this novella in the Molly the Maid series...every single thing about it.

I love that it's centered around Christmas. I love that we get to see more of Molly as a child with her beloved gran, their traditions and their heartfelt moments. I love, love, love Juan Manuel in this one as we get to see more of his love and devotion to Molly. And I love that we don't have to contend with murder during ⬇️

robinb the holiday season...always a plus. Oh, and I loved that it's a fast read, but I didn't feel shorted in any aspect of the book.

An absolute winner of a read! 5/5⭐️

When I think of Molly the Maid, I think of a mystery. Nita Prose did a twist with ' The Mistletoe Mystery'. A mystery with a romantic twist at Christmas Time.

There's not a lot I can say about 'The Mistletoe Mystery ' without giving things away. I will say that Molly is head maid at the Regency Hotel still. Prose still makes her lovable and is really developing her. You will have to get the book when it hits bookshelves ⬇️

MonicaLoves2Read in October to find out more.

Tentative Publication Date: October 1, 2024

😊Happy Reading😊
