I've loved each Molly, the maid story, and a
Christmas one is perfect for this time of year. I really enjoyed this holiday novella.

This was a delightfully charming read. Molly is looking forward to celebrating Christmas with her boyfriend, but there's a mystery that needs solving. It's fairly clear to the reader what's going if not to Molly, so it's very sweet to read when she figures it out.

The Mistletoe Mystery is a wonderful Christmas read!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are my own.

I guess I was expecting an actual mystery? The "mystery" is completely obvious to the reader and not much else happens outside of the description of Molly's day-to-day activities. It is Christmassy, so if you're looking for a quick and festive read and have loved the other Molly the Maid books then this one may be for you.

Thank you to NetGalley and Ballantine Books for providing me a digital reviewer copy in exchange for my honest thoughts.

I absolutely love this author and this series of books. This one is no different. Molly is one of my favorite characters of all time.

I highly recommend reading the first two before reading this Christmas story or there will be a lot you’re missing. Loved this one!

This was a very cute Christmastime novella from The Maid series. It’s not exactly a thriller or mystery like the other books. Things might be a mystery to Molly but it’s clear to the reader what’s going on. The result however is a charming and heart warming tale.

It’s a quick read and I enjoyed reading it around the holidays.

Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced copy on exchange for my honest review.

I really have enjoyed the Molly the Maid series and this short Christmas novella was so cute and sweet.

Molly’s Gran always made the holidays special and now that she’s gone, her boyfriend Juan Manuel is trying his best to keep the Christmas spirit. But after a work Secret Santa hurts Molly’s feelings, she’s understandably upset. Juan Manuel keeps hiding things from Molly and it begins to raise her suspicions. But a super special work holiday party makes everything clear in the end.

It was pretty obvious where this was heading, but that didn’t affect my enjoyment at all. This was an adorable one sitting read!

Thank you @penguinrandomhouse for my gifted copy of the Mistletoe Mystery!

Special thanks to NetGalley for the advanced reader copy of this book. Cute little novella, super predictable, but really unnecessary in the Molly the Maid series.

Thank you to netgalley for providing an e-galley for review. The Mistletoe Mystery is a cozy romantic sort of mystery. It was frustrating to read this non-mystery from Molly's perspective, but it was adorable to see Juan Manuel and Molly in this novella.

Molly the maid is back for a sweet holiday novella. As Molly and Juan Manuel prepare for Christmas and their hotel’s annual party, Molly worries that something is amiss. In true Molly fashion, she reads many clues wrong and gives herself and the reader anxiety. On the other hand though, it is still endearing.

Was this one fairly predictable? Yes, absolutely. I still enjoyed it as a short story and rooted for Molly. I would have loved to have seen some surprises, but otherwise a cute read.

Thank you to @netgalley and @randomhouse for an advanced copy of this title.

Enjoyed another hour with Molly.

I would not recommend this to someone as a stand alone. You need to be familiar with the characters to fully appreciate it.

Thank you Net Galley & to the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Molly the Head Maid is one of my favorite characters of all times. She is literally the best! A lovely Christmas novella that reminds us all ofthe magic of Christmas. And I loved the card catalogue advent calendar - wish I had one!

What cute little novella this was! Loved reading about Molly and her love. And it was quite obvious what was going on. But it was still adorable. I did want more mystery. Buttt I’ll wait for book 3 for that.

Thank you to Net Galley for an advanced copy of this book. I loved this short story. The characters are likeable and this was a quick read.

I love Molly the Maid and enjoyed the book immensely, so I was really excited to get a chance to preview this new holiday novella.
There is no mystery in this one, despite the title. It seems plain to see where this is going, so the mystery is for Molly alone. It’s is like a modern retelling of Gift of the Magi on one storyline and then the continued holiday romance story for Molly and Juan.
It was a little Hallmark Channel feeling and the reader could definitely see what was happening even if Molly couldn't. I listened to this, narrated well by Lauren Ambrose, It’s a perfectly sweet story that should satisfy those who’ve grown to love Molly, and ultimately I’m still happy to see her get her most magical Christmas yet!

Thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group for the audio ARC to preview.

A cute little cozy mystery for this time of the year! Molly is her usual self and we dive into her romance with Juan more this novella. It was short and sweet and very enjoyable.

This short story focuses on the wonderful Molly and her romance with Juan. As always, it’s a delight to see the world through Molly’s eyes.

Absolutely loved this short and oh so sweet holiday read ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group 0 Ballantine for an ARC copy of The Mistletoe Mystery by Nita Prose. I love this series, and I love Molly. Although this mystery was very predictable, it was a perfect sweet Christmas story. I read it on Christmas day, and its charm made me smile. It also made me appreciate how Molly and Juan may not have a lot of money, but they used what they had to make Christmas special. I truly appreciate that sentiment. It's not about the gifts, but the love that goes into them.

This was the sweetest little Christmas novella! Even though the story is short, it was not lacking any of the usual charm and humor of the other Molly novels!
I throughly enjoyed every second of this new Molly mystery, and the ending was SO CUTE!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to early read in exchange for my review.

Molly isn’t my favorite amateur sleuth, but her stories are a nice way to balance out my reading when I’m looking for a mystery that isn’t too gruesome. This “mystery” was perfect for this time of year. This was a solid holiday read.

Absolutely LOVED. Nita Prose can do no wrong, and getting to spend Christmas with Molly was just so lovely. She’s one of my very favorite literary characters and this was just so sweet and charming all around. Couldn’t get enough!

A cute little novella installment in the Molly Maid series. A perfect holiday read that, due to its small amount of pages, is mostly just fluff and nothing more. There's no real "mystery" here, of course. And the reader will realize from page 3 or 4 what's due to happen. But it's still a quick and cute little Holiday read and adds to the series well enough.
