The Mistletoe Mystery

Molly Gray has always loved the holidays. As a child, her gran made every Christmas special despite little money, filling an Advent calendar with small, thrifty trinkets — a tradition Molly still keeps. The first Christmases without Gran were hard, but this year her boyfriend, pastry chef Juan Manuel, means to make the season Molly's best yet.

When a Secret Santa gift exchange among the Regency Grand Hotel staff raises questions about who Molly can and cannot trust, she finds herself drawn into her most personal mystery yet. As Juan Manuel grows evasive about his whereabouts and the exchange, Molly starts to doubt him — and has to decide whether she is misreading the situation, the way she so often has before.

A short, festive entry in the Molly the Maid series, centered on trust, perception, and the ways people show care for one another.
