The Maid’s Secret is third in series and I’d definitely recommend reading them in order. Molly’s world is turned upside down when she takes a golden egg that belongs to her Gran to the Hidden Treasure TV show. It turns out to a missing priceless Faberge egg. Molly becomes instant celebrity and is offered millions for the egg. It then goes missing during the auction and Molly receives threatening letters.
As with the other books in the series Nita mixes a delightful cast of characters with a mystery. The story builds over a dual timeline, the historical one in the form of diary entries from Gran. It was nice to learn more about Gran’s back story which from riches to rags. The addition of the TV hosts and appearance by Molly’s mother mixed things up a bit. Overall there was a lot more focus on family and less of Molly’s personal growth which helped to pull the three books together.
Molly finds a Fabergé egg left behind by her Gran, who has passed away. It is revealed to be a precious antique worth millions of dollars which Molly plans to auction off. However, the egg is stolen and Molly sets about recovering it.
This book was my least favourite out of the three in the series so far. Half of the book was centred around Molly's Gran's back story, which didn't interest me. When it wasn't focused on her Gran's back story, it was focused on finding the egg, and I missed the immersion into her job and the happenings at the hotel that was so central in the first two books.
