The Mystery Guest

I love a cosy mystery, and The Mystery Guest was the perfect read. This is the second book in the series featuring Molly the Maid, whom I adored in The Maid. This time, Molly is head maid and finds herself in a new mess, with a new mystery to solve.

The book is written in a dual-timeline, going back in time to Molly's childhood, where she first encounters Mr Grimthorpe. Here, we get a true insight into Molly's life and how the events of her past have shaped her into the person she is today.

In The Mystery Guest, we meet new characters but also some familiar characters found in the previous novel. There are some shocking revelations along the way, as well as a few red herrings. Making this a real page-turner.

Highly recommend if you love character driven novels combined with a cosy mystery.
