pickI always wonder if an authors second book is going to live up to their first. In the case of The Mystery Guest, Prose's second book, does live up to her first The Maid.
In The Mystery Guest, we are reunited with Molly, the maid. She is now head maid and takes her job seriously. While training Lily, a new maid, a guest of the Regency is murdered. Molly is thrust into the middle of the investigation by her friend, Angela. Of course, there ⬇️
I had to rush to finish this in time for book club. Luckily, it's an easy, light read. #themaid #nitaprose #bookclub #earlgreytea
Here are my May reads.
The Secret Bridesmaid was my favorite out of all of them.
Love the Virgin River series though!

Starting a new book today! Book: The Maid by Nita Prose #TheyHadMeAtClue #themaidbynitaprose #themaid #nitaprose #booksbrewsandbooze
I have no words to describe this book. It‘s a fun and fast read and you find that the main character is quirky, naive and likable. Two thirds through the book, omg!!!! I can see why there‘s a movie already in the making. Good job Nita, good job. I applaud you 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻 #themaid #nitaprose #goodread #soontobemovie #mustread
So excited to read this, I‘ve heard such good things! (Also if my girl Florence Pugh is going to be in the movie, I‘m EXTRA ready!) #themaid #nitaprose
pickLOVED this book and Molly.
How could you not love Molly?
THE MAID is a delight to read simply because Molly is someone you want to take under your wing and protect.
An amazing debut that will lift your spirits!! 5/5

Prose did a wonderful job in character development. Molly grew a lot, but the biggest growth came from Detective Stark. I love Molly. She is clearly the underdog most of the time, but she never gives up. Prose also expanded on the series, and left room for another book or two, by a couple of bombshells. There is a dual timeline in The Mystery Guest, but it works great and gives some info on one bombshell. I look forward to reading more about Molly and seeing where Prose takes all the characters.
If you haven't read the first book, The Maid, I would recommend you do before reading, The Mystery Guest. That way you want be lost, because this book builds on the first.
