The Maid's Secret

I loved that Prose's writing style for Molly had a wonderfully quirky style that celebrated her individuality and uniqueness and her way of seeing the world. Exciting, original, inviting, and utterly delightful it was pure pleasure watching Molly grow and explore who she is and follow her developing her strength and confidence through this book. This books was the perfect way to wrap up the series, not only did we get to see a Happily Ever After Moment for Molly, but so many reunions and resolutions to the dramatic points that have been developing throughout the series. Questions about Gran's past with Molly and before have been resolved and all with the authors signature style and a humor as well as the deep emotional connection to the characters that moves these books from simple cozy style beach reading to a series I will long keep on my shelves. There are surprises and twists, as always, and good tugs on my heartstrings as in the story that is half told in Grans's voice about her past thought the secret diary and half from Molly who is solving the mystery that connects these two amazing women together forever.

I love this series, that has an autistic young woman as the protagonist - without ever mentioning the word. It is a fairy tale / mystery / love story / feel good series. With lots of humor.

This paticular books ending was a little drawn out, but otherwise it was cleverly constructed. And the last one in the series, I suspect.

I listened to audiobooks, very well performed by Lauren Ambrose.
