“Heartwarming . . . Like Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple, who’s
rendered invisible because she’s an old woman, Molly and her
grandmother are not seen because of the kind of work they do. In
this affecting and socially-pointed mystery series,
however, invisibility becomes the superpower of the pink-collar
proletariat.”—NPR
“[Molly] returns in The Mystery Guest, which builds upon The Maid’s
many charms. Prose peppers the mystery with sly jokes about the
vagaries of crime writing, but Molly’s voice remains central
and moving.”—The New York Times
“Molly is a singular character—she’s intelligent, unfailingly
honest and the epitome of a professional maid—and readers will
enjoy checking into the Regency Grand to follow her and her
exploits.”—BookPage
“The Mystery Guest is a fun mystery. If you like
character-driven stories, this one’s for you. Molly Gray
is one of the most unique characters I’ve come across in a
long time and is oddly lovable. Enjoy this rousing
mystery. It’s great entertainment.”—BookReporter
“A page-turning delight from start to finish . . . Once I checked
into the Regency Grand, I never wanted to leave.”—Jenny Jackson,
author of Pineapple Street
“Solving a crime has never been more delightful. Molly Gray is a
gift to the world, and this is a book to hug when you finish
it.”—Nina de Gramont, New York Times bestselling author of The
Christie Affair
“Wise and winning and altogether wondrous . . . perfect for fans of
Agatha Christie, Knives Out, and tasteful whodunits of any vintage
. . . a splendid novel to restore your faith in character-driven
storytelling.”—A. J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of
The Woman in the Window
“Nita Prose writes like no other—I loved this even more than her
utterly delightful debut.”—Ashley Audrain, New York Times
bestselling author of The Push and The Whispers
“Be sure to put out the ‘do not disturb’ sign while you lose
yourself in this exquisite follow-up.”—Janice Hallett,
internationally bestselling author of The Appeal
“A rollicking, riotous, rollercoaster of a mystery.
Clever clues, a smorgasboard of suspects, and a rocket-fuel
pace.”—Benjamin Stevenson, internationally bestselling author of
Everyone in my Family Has Killed Someone

literature. Prepare to fall in love with this fast-paced, clever
whodunit full of laughs and overflowing with heart.”—Kristin
Harmel, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Lost
Names

is one of the most memorable, endearing characters I’ve ever

all! This book is a knockout.”—Mary Kubica, New York Times
bestselling author of Local Woman Missing
