It begins like any other day for Molly Gray, silently dusting her way through the luxury rooms at the Regency Grand Hotel.
But when she enters suite 401 and discovers an infamous guest dead in his bed, a very messy mystery begins to unfold. And Molly’s at the heart of it – because if anyone can uncover the secrets beneath the surface, the fingerprints amongst the filth – it’s the maid . . .

Our main character is likeable, smart and complex. The story is not overly complicated but still very satisfying and it will leave you feeling rewarded for the time you’ve spent with this book. It really is beautifully crafted and paced.
We all know how vital good narration is and it is impeccable. Lauren wonderfully captures the spirit of our lead as well as the other characters and I enjoyed her work so much I’m going to look for other books she has narrated.
You don’t even have to be a fan of murder mysteries to enjoy this story. I’ve listened twice already and it’s going straight into my favourites list.
So enjoyable
