Description
Molly the Maid is used to being invisible. Now someone is watching her every move ...
*THE SPARKLING NEW MYSTERY FROM THE MULTI-MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE MAID*
-----
Molly the maid is no stranger to secrets...
She sees everything behind closed doors at the Regency Grand hotel: wiping away the dust and grime of guests passing through.
But one secret lies much closer to home.
An old trinket - a faux Faberge egg - is revealed to be a precious antique during an appraisal at the hotel, making Molly a rags-to-riches sensation. But no sooner has the egg shown its value than it's stolen: vanishing without a trace.
Determined to crack the case of the missing Faberge, Molly begins dusting for clues - uncovering a mystery that stretches deep into the past.
For in the pages of a long-forgotten diary, written by her late gran, lie the secrets that could unlock all others - and only Molly holds the key...
