Summary and Study Guide
Overview
The Mystery Guest is Nita Prose’s second novel in her Molly the Maid series. In this novel, the famous mystery writer J.D. Grimthorpe dies in the Regency Grand Hotel’s tearoom just as he is about to reveal a secret to his adoring public. Molly, the Head Maid at the hotel, must solve the murder in order to save the hotel’s reputation and prevent herself or her staff from being arrested. Doing so means revisiting a painful past and admitting that she and her beloved Gran had dealings with Grimthorpe years ago.
An experienced editor and a writer of stories that fall into the “cozy mystery” genre, Nita Prose has penned three novels as of 2024 for her Molly the Maid series. Her inspiration for her first novel, The Maid, is based on a chance encounter with a maid in a London hotel. The novel became a number-one New York Times bestseller and has since been sold in 40 different countries in addition to winning the Ned Kelly Award for International Crime Fiction, the Barry Award for Best First Mystery, and the Anthony Award for Best First Novel.
