The answers to the mystery lie behind one guest’s door – and only the maid holds the key...

Thoughts

From the off, you have to suspend your disbelief - this is one of those unfortunate locations in the world where a higher than average number of murders take place. We’re on to our second in this hotel already and I believe there’s more to come in this series. However, it’s so good to be back in the world of Molly the Maid, and how she has evolved from the first book. This time, she’s guiding others and getting involved in ways she would never have before. We also get a good insight into things that happened in Molly’s childhood which also inform how she is now, more layers peeling off this character. Really good!
