I have loved The Maid series and The Maid's Secret was no different. This charming book teaches us more about Gran and how she and Molly came to be. There is some predictability but because the main character, Molly, seems to be undiagnosed neurodivergent so much of it just makes sense bc we are not necessarily meant to be reading between the lines if we are thinking like Molly is. I think it's wonderful that Nita Prose has given us a neurodivergent female lead character as more and more women are seeking diagnosis in recent years and it helps that this character is relatable to so many! Whether you're a loved one of someone who has a neurodivergent diagnosis, or someone who is unable to get diagnosed due to money etc it truly helps you to understand how the brain works from a slightly different perspective. It also helps you to feel more normal with your own 'quirks'.

We learn about Gran from the time she was a young child and the many things that made her into the woman we learned so much about in the first two books! An excellent combination of Gran's past and Molly's present and how the two collide! I highly recommend it to anyone though reading the first 2 books will give you an even deeper bond with the characters!

What a story!!!!! 2 for 1. Yes, Molly has a new mystery to solve, but this time, it's closer to home. She's right in the middle of it. As head maid and head of special events at The Regency Grand , not only does she have to find the culprits, she also solves the mystery thanks to her Gran. Nita Prose has masterfully blended past and present. It's as if you are reading two separate stories. We finally find out Gran's story...and what a story! Gran's secrets are finally revealed. The secrets help Molly solve the case and understand what unconditional love means. By far, one of the best in the trilogy. Please say there is a fourth installment! Might I venture to suggest that Molly and her mother meet again and repair their relationship? This is not only a love story for Molly and Juan but for Molly, her Gran and for her grand-dad. Isn't love just Grand! A must read.

I very much enjoyed the first novel in this series where Molly seemed fresh, innocent, and entertaining. The second book was good, but the formula was showing. This book feels wooden. The formulaic structure is all too apparent. It may be time to give the maid a day off.
That said, readers who are just looking for more of Molly and are wanting a comfort read will probably still enjoy it.
