The Mystery Guest

“The Mystery Guest” by Nita Prose
Published by Ballantine Books
 
Molly the Maid continues to be one of my favorite characters.  I just love everything about her.  She is inferred to be a high functioning autistic woman that tends to find herself in precarious situations while working as a hotel maid.  In this book, a renowned mystery author dies in the hotel tearoom during a press conference and Molly takes it upon herself to assist in the police investigation to find out who did it.  Her attention to details proves quite useful to the detective in charge. 
 
This is the 2nd in a series, and I do highly suggest you read “The Maid” first.  You don’t have to but why miss out.  These aren’t action packed, suspenseful mysteries but they are fun, warmhearted, quick reads that I recommend.  They make for a great “palate cleanser” after a tough read or a book to get you out of a slump.
 
Finished 1/18/26 – 4/5 stars
