We’re delighted to announce that Nita Prose‘s brand new festive novella, The Mistletoe Mystery, publishes today with Ballantine Books/ Penguin Random House in the US and Viking Books / Penguin Random House Canada. This charming and feel-good Christmas mystery returns again to the Regency Grand Hotel where Molly the maid is polishing up her holiday list when a festive plot throws her off-kilter. As a Secret Santa gift exchange raises questions about who Molly can and cannot trust, she dives headfirst into solving her most consequential—and personal—mystery yet. Why does her beau, Juan Manuel, keep disappearing? And why are the hotel corridors filled with whispers? Someone is keeping a secret. And, as Molly discovers, the answers to the mystery lie in a most unexpected gift…
