DO NOT DISTURB. WHODUNNIT IN PROGRESS ...



Molly Gray wears her Head Maid badge proudly for every shift at the Regency Grand Hotel: plumping pillows, sweeping up secrets, silently restoring rooms to a state of perfection. But the hotel's reputation is sullied when a guest - a famous mystery writer - drops very dead on the tearoom floor.


As suspicion swirls in the hotel corridors, it's clear there's grime lurking beneath the gilt. And Molly knows that she alone holds the key to the mystery. But unlocking it means thinking about the past, about a dusty old house, and everything else she's tidied away in her memory.



Because Molly knew the dead guest once upon a time - and she knows his secrets too ...
