The Mystery Guest by Nita Prose
4.5

I have to admit, I enjoyed the first book more.  Molly the maid still has the unique characteristics that make her so loveable and such a warm presence, but I also feel like some of that was a bit lost.  However,  this mystery and Molly kept me reading, and overall,  I loved this story.

The chapters jump between a young Molly and the present Molly, which I felt was the perfect setup for revealing the truths in this mystery because both contained the victim.  

It's been a few years since the last book, and Molly is now head maid.  When she prepares the hotels new tearoom for a special V.I.P. guest, she is not expecting him to drop dead.  Molly, once again, is in the middle of an investigation, but can she prove her innocence this time?

I really loved this.  Molly is an amazing character, and I would love to sit down and have a cup of tea with her.  This is a series that is comforting and perfect for curling up with in the soon to come winter months!
