About this listen

DO NOT DISTURB. WHODUNNIT IN PROGRESS…

Molly the maid sees everything at The Regency Grand Hotel.

So when a renowned guest drops very dead on the tearoom floor, sullying the hotel’s five-star reputation, it falls to Molly to sweep up the clues.

An unfortunate accident? Or a murderous mess?

The answers to the mystery lie behind one guest’s door – and only the maid holds the key…

I love the characters and how the author moves them forward through the story with various twists and turns along the way. Wasn’t so keen on the narrators attempt at an English accent, it seemed to move from one region to another. But I love how the narrator voices the main character in both books. I loved this one as much as the first!

Another excellent story!

Another excellent book from Anita Prose, the storyline was slightly slow to build up but amazing.
Jumping from one era to another with each chapter took a bit of getting used to but once trained to expect it I enjoyed it.
The book filled in on the lovely Molly's background which was and eye opener, won't say any more.
Waiting for another ........

Engrossing from start to finish

What a delightful story! Took a bit of a punt on deal of the day, based on reviews that felt ‘intended’ (unlike some). Very glad I did and will definitely be listening to more of Molly the Maid. Another example of a neurodivergent protagonist. I like the growing prevalence of this as it’s more interesting and helps general understanding. Unlike some reviewers I didn’t mind the English accents - not too bad really, and the rest was very well narrated. The voicing of Molly reminded me of Mara Wilson in Matilda. Which, as an old favourite, was another plus for me. Overall, wholeheartedly recommended!

A joy

Difficult for someone from UK to listen to weird ( I assume supposed to be British ?) accent of Angela. Bad enough ( and story not strong enough) to keep me reading past chapter 8.

Loved her first book but can’t get on with this sequel.

Brilliant sequel with Molly Grey, great narration, likeable characters and storyline! I hope there is another book to follow Mollys life

Loved both books on the Greys

I just adore this narrator and how she captures the intricacies of molly so perfectly! I hope nita prose writes more molly books! So enjoyable!

Fun

This book, unfortunately, didn't work for me. It was far too similar to the original, which I thoroughly enjoyed, but the storyline was too unbelievable. I don't want to spoil this book for anybody else. Some may enjoy hearing about Molly's next adventure, but I found it rather repetitive.

I wouldn't recommend buying this book.

Molly Gray Act 2, same as first book.
