The Mistletoe Mystery: A Maid Novella (Molly the Maid)

The Molly Maid books are so wonderfully heartwarming -related good stories. This one was particularly sweet even though it was predictable

This was a delightful, Christmas themed novella based in the world of Molly The Maid. The only reason a knocked it a star is because Molly was especially obtuse, but it is on par for the character. Plus, the ending was too cute.

This is my third “Molly the Maid” story. This story still has some of Molly’s charm, but the mystery is pretty obvious to everyone except Molly. I liked that it has all the same cast of characters, so make sure to read the other books in the series first. Quick, easy holiday read.

This was such a cute holiday novella. I absolutely breezed through this short and delightful read. I’m such a huge fan of Molly’s character and that’s what really shines in this story for me. I will say that this was definitely more of a romance than a mystery, but I’m not mad about it. I loved gaining more insight into Juan and Molly’s relationship. This was the perfect short and sweet holiday read with a feel good ending.

Love these books!

Really wish I read this around Christmas but new book was coming out soon so I couldn’t wait until then 😂

I think $9.99 was a lot for 110 pages but only because it’s my favorite maid, MOLLY, I bought it !!!There is something so warm about the writing in all the “maid” books. I feel like I’m back with an old friend. I’m loving anticipating the surprise for Molly in this book I think I see coming. I don’t usually read short stories, but this was a GREAT heartwarming tale. Only 4 stars since I don’t believe short stories warrant 5 stars.
