I was overjoyed to receive this one as an ARC. I absolutely love Molly. This book ties everything together from the previous books. I loved this one. I hope we get more of Molly in the future.

The previous books in the series were more tense than this one. I had been wanting a look at Flora’s life growing up and we finally got it in this book. A few rogue periods and commas in the ARC. No one dies in the end! Thank you Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine Books for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own! #TheMaidsSecret #NetGalley

Another great book about Molly the Maid. I wouldn’t say it was the most suspenseful but I def loved reading about Flora and her past. I love the way the character of Molly has evolved. She’s so likable and I love that she has found a group of people who support her and the love of her life. . I’m glad I read this book. The last Molly story?

Yall I was so excited to receive this ARC; definitely my second most hyped one! This was cute and I love being back with the characters. I dont know if the alternating chapters of Gran’s diary were necessary, maybe sprinkled in would have sufficed, but the mystery was good nonetheless. I wish we got a little more suspense from the mystery though!

My thing used to be: I don’t read series….why? Because if you read so often it’s hard to remember who’s who and follow back stories through multiple books while waiting forever for Authors to publish a new book. With that said…. That’s not the case here, and there is always a case with Molly the Maid. Molly is probably one of my favorite characters ever written, but let’s look at how each storyline around her is always evolving and dips back throughout each book awaking an Easter egg of information all while helping you remember without a reread of previous books. I will forever love Mollys quirks and her love of a simple life.

The Maid’s Secret was one of my Favorite books by one of my Favorite Authors!!! Love Molly the Maid Series and in this book we get all the behind the scenes and backstories of Molly’s grandmother Flora. How Flora lived a very secret life of privilege, education, naivety, abandonment, courage, sacrifice, but the greatest was the LOVE she found!!! Molly learns by reading her Gran’s diary that some eggs can make you Extremely Rich, some eggs are stolen, some eggs are gifted, some eggs are bad, but most importantly there is some really good eggs!!! Molly learns that the truest form of wealth is being surrounded by LOVE!!!❤️

Thank You So Much to the Author, Publisher and NetGalley for the Arc of this book in exchange for a Honest Review!!

Prim and proper Molly Gray. Do I need to say more?

The third installment in the series Molly the Maid did not disappoint. I loved the dual POVs throughout the book and found it unique that one of those was from Molly’s gran’s diary.

I WAS NOT expecting those twists and turns, especially all of the family connections. Let’s say a prayer for Mrs. Mead and her untimely death.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!

Always happy to have another additon to the Molly universe.

This one was pretty good. I don't think there was anything here that made me jump up and down but I did enjoy it overall. I think the first book in this series will just always be the best. Molly's charm and wit was just so strong in that one and we just don't get to see it as much in the following books. i think that is mostly because the cast of secondary characters keeps growing and ebcause of that, we don't get to see Molly as much, which I consider a bummer. She is what makes these books so special. I love her little saying and quirky personality traits and I want to see them more.

I would honestly argue that this book was more of a story of her grandmother than Molly. Yes, she was in it. But the majority of the pages were told from a journal of her grandmothers. I did love that and getting to see her Gran's backstory was really great and I did enjoy how it lended to the mystery.

I am glad Prose is starting to lean away from the "Mystery" titles, because while there is still a mystery element in this, it wasn't introduced until halfway through the book, so I wouldn't neccesarily call it one. In terms of the mystery too, it was really quite obvious who was the culprit. I feel as though I am super easy to pull one over on, and I saw this one from a mile away. But, these books are more about the charm and the characters so I'm not sure that it was too much of a loss to not be blown away by a twist.

Overall, I did enjoy this and will continue to read from this series. I just want to see more Molly and less of the rest of the cast.

First of all, HUGE shoutout to Nita Prose & Net Galley for allowing me to read this ARC in exchange for my honest review. Dare I say this is the BEST book of the series!? I loved it so much! Molly had found herself in yet again a whimsical mystery that captivated me and not “how can this girl possibly have yet another crime happen in her life!?”. But what really made this book better than the rest, was that half of the book are diary entries from sweet Gran written to her love, Molly. Being able to hear the backstory of Gran was so beautiful and such a sweet treat. I recommend this book AND the entire series to EVERYONE

Molly is one of my favorite literary characters. In the third book of the series, Nita Prose continues to deliver a beautiful and brilliant soul, and the hotel backdrop offers the perfect scenery for diverse crimes and mysteries. From Molly's engagement to her shocking find in her grandmother's hidden treasures box, the book is filled with highs and lows, allowing readers the privilege of experiencing all the same emotions as Molly. Prose gives a dual timeline thru the grandmother's journal, and we discover what happened to her all those years ago (hinted at in prior books). I have two thoughts on her grandmother tho now... one, still loving her as a person but two, she was a bit of a difficult child and obnoxious teenager given her wealth and lot in society. But people change, and I can see how the evolution of her life as a maid brought that progress. My primary niggles here... no actual murder! It was all about theft, and while it was intriguing, it was a letdown on some levels. Still a huge fan of the book and series!

From the moment I first met Molly in the The Maid, I was invested in her life and happiness. She grows so much throughout this series, and I eagerly devoured every page!

Like the other books, this story blends equal parts family secrets, romance, and mystery. I think one of my favorite parts about Molly’s story is that it’s never been just her story, it’s also Gran’s story. We learn so much about her through Molly’s sayings, mannerisms, and recollections, and now we get her voice firsthand through her letters. I loved all the connections in this book tying the whole series together. This was such a great and happy conclusion for Molly!

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine for the e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

3.5 stars, rounded up.

The third installment of Molly the Maid. This could be read as a standalone but it is much better when read as part of the series. I love Molly’s unrelenting personality and how much everyone has grown to love and appreciate it. In this one, Molly is set to make a ton of money by auctioning something left by Gran. In her own chapters and timelines, we learn about Gran’s upbringing and life through diary entries. I actually loved this timeline and wanted more of Gran’s story! While the diary entries of course helped Molly solve the mystery, I didn’t really feel like the alternating chapters flowed, it felt more like two different books. Coming to love these characters though, I did enjoy the book as a whole.

Ever since the first book, I have been obsessed with Molly gray! This book continue the store with her fiance and per usual there’s amazing I really hope that they turn this into a movie or tv series.

Let me start off by saying that I've read all of the other Maid books in this series. The first book in the series was absolutely the best. It was fresh and unique and different. Since then, in my opinion, they've progressively gone downhill. This one was kind of a dud for me. I don't know if it's because the books have lost their uniqueness by dragging Molly the maid's story out, but this one felt slow and uninteresting. The only thing that kept the story going was the alternating points of view between Molly and her grandmother Flora's diary entries. Otherwise, this book was pretty unmemorable.

Nita Prose does it again. Molly is just fantastic and this quick novella at Christmas time was just perfect.

I was so excited when I saw that I received this e-galley! I love this series and had read all the books prior to this one in the series, including the holiday novella. This one did not let me down! Molly the Maid is just as wonderful as ever! I love her hijinks!

This cozy, amateur sleuth mystery (Book #3 in the Molly the Maid series) consists of alternating chapters of family history and a present day Fabergé egg heist. Molly and her husband-to-be, Juan, who both work at the Grand Regency Hotel, decide to bring trinkets and a jeweled egg to the filming of an antiques show at the hotel. When Molly learns the egg may be worth millions of dollars, her life becomes complicated with media attention. Parallel to this modern day story, Molly begins reading her grandmother's diaries and learns how the egg came into the family. In alternating chapters or diary entries and investigations, Molly and co-worker, Angela, work along side Detective Stark, to solve the crime. This novel can be read as a stand-alone, but readers who enjoy the genre will want to begin with book one: The Maid (2022).

Molly is back! And this time we get to see more of Gran's backstory. Told in dual timeline then (Gran) and now (Molly). We don't get the true mystery until about 50% so I was wondering where this was going but happy to learn more about Gran.

This is everything and more than you would expect from A Maid novel!

Molly the Maid and Juan are planning their wedding when the unexpected happens. During a filming of the hit TV show, Hidden Treasures (being filmed at the Regency Grand's Tea Room, of course), Molly learns that the jeweled egg belonging to Gran is more than just a trinket important to her, it is a Faberge egg. Molly's world tips upside down as she learns that the egg is worth millions and the hosts of Hidden Treasures, Beagle and Brown, want to auction the egg at the Regency Grand. As Molly and Juan begin to dream about what millions can do for them, the egg is stolen right in front of everyone's eyes. Now, Molly is receiving demands for the egg and death threats.

As Molly's story unfolds, so does Gran's; a riches-to-rags story that she left for Molly to read in a diary. Molly soon learns that Gran lost her family and fortune because of love and a lack of love. It is through Gran's diary that Molly figures out who stole the Faberge egg and how the egg changed so many lives.

I enjoyed the newest installment of Molly the Maid, at least the first 75% of it. I enjoyed how Gran's story unfolded within Molly's story and found the pacing great. I wanted the pacing to continue through the end of the novel, but instead, Prose picked up and ran with the end which left me with questions and wanting a lot more. The detail Prose uses in the first three quarters of the novel is exquisite and truly allows the reader to see Gran's and Molly's stories. Unfortunately, once Molly reads Gran's diary and figures out who stole the egg, it feels like Prose just gave up and finished the novel instead of truly telling the story. Things fell flat with the rush of a heist, wedding, and aftermath of the egg. This rush is something I noticed in the earlier books too. I would prefer a more detailed ending that adds 50-100 pages to the novel over the quick, wrap-it-up-with-a-bow ending that leaves the reader wanting more. In the end, I still love Molly the Maid, Juan, Mr. Preston, and the whole crew at the Regency Grand, and I hope for more from them soon.

Molly will forever hold a special place in my heart! She may be one of the most lovable characters of all time. This was a fun mystery just like the previous books.
