ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- I thoroughly enjoyed the first book featuring Molly the Maid, so was delighted to read this one - and it did not disappoint in the least! Molly is special, being devoted to being the best maid in her beloved Regency Grand Hotel. She now has a position of some importance, being the Head Maid, and she takes her responsibilities very seriously. So when J D Grimthorpe is staying at the hotel for a convention of fans eager to hear the reclusive mystery writer's revelations, Molly is concerned everything be perfect. And it would have been, if he hadn't dropped dead in front of the gathering...and if Molly doesn't step in to save the day, the Regency won't be so Grand afterall! She does have an advantage or two over the investigating detectives because it turns out Molly once knew J D very well indeed... A charming story to while away a lazy weekend, thoroughly entertaining with lots of lovely dashes of humour. Lindy
