Reviews

Book

"It took me an hour to finish this book! It made me emotional on some parts of how Molly thought her partner was having an affair, it kind of got me too thinking like that lol. It turned out a great ending!"

— Wallen (4/5)

The Mistletoe Mystery a Maid Novella

"While the other three books in the Maid series have been enjoyable I found this one lacked substance. Quite expensive too."

— JLege (3/5)

Excellent service

"Third book of the series : excellent story love the main character! Order arrived fast , excellent service"

— Racjul (5/5)

A Delightful Mystery with Heart

"Nita Prose never fails to delight with Molly’s adventures! Her unique blend of mystery, quirky humor, and heartwarming charm creates the perfect mix. A captivating and effortless read that is hard to put down—I cannot wait for the next Molly adventure!"

— Ree P. (5/5)

Very sweet. 3. 5/5!

"This novella is saccharinely sweet, and yet it was an enjoyable read. The 'mystery' is totally predictable, but the Christmas setting was fun. There were multiple subtle references to the O Henry tale of ""The Gift of the Magi"", which added to the lessons about the true meaning of Christmas. This short story works, because it is short. Enjoy it with a cup of cocoa next Christmas. 3. 5/5"

— Mpcacher1 (4/5)

Great story

"I thoroughly enjoyed reading the Mistletoe Mystery."

— WA W. (5/5)

Mistletoe Mystery

"I have read the other Maid books and found them quite fascinating and intriguing so I was looking forward to this Mistletoe Mystery book. Although it was an easy read, I actually read it in 2 days, it lacked the spark of the other two that I had read. I liked the characters, but the plot was a bit disappointing. On the plus side, I did buy one of the books that was signed hy the author."

— Mary L. (4/5)

Mistletoe mystery.

"Enjoyed book. Had read two others in series and like same characters in story."

— Carol J. (3/5)

Not as good as the first two in the series

"Not her best. I loved The Maid, and fully enjoyed the quirky maid. I liked the second book a little less, but this one wasn’t a mystery at all, and the central issue was very clear to the reader, without needing to read the entire book."

— Jackie (2/5)

Mini Mistletoe Mystery

"The only thing wrong with the novela is that it is a novela and not a novel! Loved the Christmas edition and the little gift that came along with it! Nita Prose is a talented author I can’t wait for the next book in the maid series to come out in the new year."

— Miranda (5/5)
