Praise for The Maid

A Good Morning America Book Club pick

"A delightful whodunit."--People

"[Nita Prose] threads a steady needle with the intricate plotting, the locked-room elements of the
mystery and especially Molly's character. The reader comes to understand Molly's worldview, and to sympathize with her longing to be accepted--a quest that gives The Maid real emotional heft."--The New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice

"Excellent and totally entertaining . . . the most interesting (and endearing) main character in a long time."--Stephen King

"What begins as a sprightly murder mystery turns into a meaningful, and at times even delicate, portrait of growth."--NPR

"A murder mystery with tremendous heart."--Lisa Jewell, New York Times bestselling author of None of This Is True

"Think Clue. Think page-turner."--Glamour

"[Molly's] bravery, kindness, and lack of artifice are engaging enough to have you rooting for
her all the way."--The Guardian

Praise for The Mystery Guest

"A delightful whodunit and a pointed social commentary."--The Washington Post

"Prose's latest builds upon the charms of her debut, The Maid. . . . Once again someone has died at the Regency Grand, and once again, Molly is a suspect. Prose's . . . plotting is seamless, but it's Molly's character that sets this mystery apart."--The New York Times

"Affecting and socially pointed."--Fresh Air

"Polished to perfection!"--Shari Lapena, New York Times bestselling author of Everyone Here Is Lying

"A page-turning delight from start to finish."--Jenny Jackson, New York Times bestselling
author of Pineapple Street

"Wise and winning and altogether wondrous."--A. J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling
author of The Woman in the Window

"Molly is a singular character--she's intelligent, unfailingly honest and the epitome of a professional maid."--BookPage
