Book 6 (of 52) – The Mystery Guest

The Mystery Guest – Nina Prose

A few years after her previous encounter with law enforcement, hotel maid Molly Gray once again finds herself in the middle of a mystery when a reclusive mystery writer is murdered at the hotel. Working with the police this time, she uses her peculiar skills to put together clues the police never discovered and helps discover the murderer.

Nita Prose follows up her debut novel, The Maid, with The Mystery Guest, continuing the adventures of her neuro-divergent maid.  I found myself enjoying this entry more than I did the first, so Prose is moving in the right direction.  Since this was just released in November, I assume I have quite some time before I need to decide if I want to go back for a third go-around.

Book 55 (of 52) – The Maid

The Maid – Nita Prose

When a hotel guest is found dead in his bed, all evidence seems to point towards the neuro-divergent maid who found him.  When she is charged with murder, her friends rally around her and help put in place a plan to go after the real bad guys.

The Maid, the debut novel from Nita Prose, was an interesting read.  It came to my attention as the winner of Best Mystery and Thriller in the Goodreads Choice Awards for 2022 and, while it wasn’t bad, it wasn’t that great.  It wasn’t even the best of the three nominated novels that I’ve already read.  Now again, it wasn’t a bad book.  It just wasn’t all it was cracked up to be.
