Everything you need to understand or teach The Mystery Guest by Nita Prose.
Narrated in the first-person voice of Molly Gray, the 29-year-old Head Maid at the fictional Regency Grand Hotel, Nita Prose’s The Mystery Guest is a witty, heartfelt take on the police procedural genre. When a famous author is killed at the hotel moments before he can make a shocking announcement, Molly must make use of her detail-oriented mind to solve the case before the police can pin the crime on one of the maids. However, the case brings back difficult memories for Molly as she grapples with her personal connection to the murdered author. Prose addresses themes of deceit, abuse of power, addiction, dignity, and wisdom. Published in 2023, The Mystery Guest is Prose’s followup to her bestselling mystery thriller The Maid (2022).
