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…

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

I pre-ordered this audiobook and could barely wait. Lauren is one of my favourite narrators (apart from Hugh Grant!). She has such a gentle, calming voice and I think she’s pitched each of the characters perfectly.

I love the dialogue that Nita Prose writes, Molly in particular has such a lovely way of speaking. I wish there were more in the series!

I relished the whole story!
