A Mistletoe Mystery

The Mistletoe Mystery is a charming, bite-sized holiday mystery that brings readers back into Molly Gray’s wonderfully literal, heartfelt world—this time dressed in Christmas cheer.

Set during the festive season, the story blends cozy holiday details with a gentle mystery that unfolds in classic Molly fashion. The plot is light but engaging, driven less by high stakes and more by observation, kindness, and the quiet unraveling of misunderstandings. As always, Molly’s perspective is the true highlight—her honesty, routines, and unique way of seeing the world add warmth, humor, and emotional depth to even the smallest moments.

Nita Prose leans into atmosphere here: twinkling decorations, seasonal rituals, and the soft pressure of holiday expectations all play a role. The mystery itself is modest but satisfying, ideally suited to the novella format, and ideal for readers who enjoy character-driven stories over shocking twists.

Overall, The Mistletoe Mystery is a cozy, feel-good holiday read that will especially delight fans of The Maid. It’s festive, gentle, and comforting—perfect for slipping into your December reading stack when you want something seasonal, soothing, and quietly clever.
