In this ingeniously plotted follow-up to the bestselling The Maid, the Regency Grand Hotel descends into chaos when a famous mystery writer with a personal connection to Molly faces a suspicious demise in the tea room.
A new mess. A new mystery. Molly the maid returns.
Molly Gray wears her Head Maid badge proudly for every shift at the Regency Grand Hotel, plumping pillows, sweeping up the guests' secrets, silently restoring rooms to a state of perfection.
But when a renowned guest - a famous mystery writer - drops very dead in the grand tea room, Molly has an unusual clean-up on her hands.
As rumours and suspicion swirl in the hotel corridors, it's clear there's grime lurking beneath the gilt. And Molly knows that she alone holds the key to the mystery. But unlocking it means thinking about the past, about Gran, and everything else she's kept tidied away in her memory for so long.
Because Molly knew the dead guest once upon a time - and he knew her.
