This is a sweet book and excellent love story. If I’d expected that, I would have given it 4-5 stars. However, I thought it was going to be a mystery because of the name, and the two previous books about this main character.

Therefore, if you want a sweet holiday love story, give this a read! If you want a mystery, pick a different book.

This tiny fun read is obviously an opener for Prose's next novel. It was weird reading this in the middle of summer instead of Christmas but what can you do. It was lovely and absolutely did not make me cry.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


The Mistletoe Mystery is a charming and heartwarming addition to Nita Prose’s delightful mystery repertoire. Once again, we step into the world of Molly the maid, whose unique perspective and keen eye for detail make her an unexpectedly perfect. Set against the festive backdrop of the Regency Grand Hotel during the holiday season, the story blends classic mystery with a touch of Christmas magic. Prose’s writing is witty and engaging, with moments that genuinely made me smile. It was a cute short follow on from the Maid and the mystery guest.

This is just a romance book and not a mystery at all.
