The Maid's Secret

Molly Gray is Head Maid and Special Events Manager at the Regency Grand Hotel, and her days are filling up with good news. The hotel is about to host a taping of the antiquities TV show Hidden Treasures, and her wedding to Juan Manuel is close.

Molly brings a handful of old trinkets to the show to be appraised. One of them turns out to be a rare artifact worth millions. Overnight she becomes a media sensation, with press circling while she prepares to sell it at auction.

On the day of the auction, the artifact disappears. Molly and her friends end up at the center of what is described as a major art heist, and suspicion falls close to home.

The answer may lie in the past. A long-forgotten diary written by Molly's Gran reveals secrets Molly has never heard: Gran grew up in a wealthy family and fell deeply in love with a young man her parents thought beneath her. The man she loved turns out to be someone Molly knows well.

This is a mystery with a cozy hotel setting, a heist at its center and a second thread told through a grandmother's diary. Molly's own life, the case and the family history all press on one another.
