I love novellas. There are times when I am busy, and reading a short book from an author I love is just the trick. It gives me the feeling of accomplishment, albeit on a smaller scale than usual. I loved every minute of THE MISTLETOE MYSTERY, Nita Prose’s latest title featuring Molly the Maid. It has everything that the longer Molly books have had --- great characters in Molly, Juan Manuel and the others at the Regency Grand Hotel, clever writing, and a plot that showcases a mystery to be unraveled but in a shorter time frame.

I love how Nita was able to bring us a memorable tale even with this truncated format. It still had the narrative arc that has made her books spot-on. For those who have never read a Molly book, may this be your gateway in. And if you already are a fan of our very special maid, you will smile throughout this latest adventure, which has such a rewarding ending.

We are coming up on a time of year when life is going to get “holiday hectic.” To dive into a book like this will be perfect. And for those looking for something to slip into a stocking or perhaps share as a grab bag holiday gift, this may be the best solution.
