About this item

Description

"A charmingly eccentric hotel maid discovers a guest murdered in his bed, turning her once orderly world upside down--and inspiring a motley crew of unexpected allies to band together to solve the mystery--in this utterly original debut. Molly Dunn is not like everyone else. She struggles with social skills and interprets people literally. Her gran used to interpret the world for her, codifying it into simple rules that Molly could live by. Since Gran died a few months ago, twenty-five-year-old Molly has had to navigate life's complexities all by herself. No matter--she throws herself with gusto into her work as a hotel maid. Her unique character, along with her obsessive love of cleaning and proper etiquette, make her an ideal fit for the job. She delights in donning her crisp uniform each morning, stocking her cart with miniature soaps and bottles, and returning guest rooms at the Regency Grand Hotel to a state of perfection. But Molly's orderly life is turned on its head the day she enters the suite of the infamous and wealthy Charles Black, only to find it in a state of disarray and Mr. Black himself very dead in his bed. Before she knows what's happening, Molly's odd demeanor has the police targeting her as their lead suspect and she finds herself in a web of subtext and nuance she has no idea how to untangle. Fortunately for Molly, a medley of friends she didn't realize she had refuses to let her be charged with murder--but will they be able to discover the real killer before it's too late? A Clue-like, locked-room mystery and a heartwarming journey of the spirit, The Maid explores what it means to be the same as everyone else and yet entirely different--and reveals that all mysteries can be solved through connection to the human heart."--

I'm 60+ y/o and totally enjoyed the book! Heartwarming, funny, but serious moments also. Though not the best book I've ever read, it's a book that will stay with me forever. Characters galore. Not a book for everyone, more of a "cozy" mystery.

I liked this one, didn't LOVE or blow my mind in any way. But it kept me entertained & wanting to know what was going to happen next. It was a light murder mystery whodunit & a quick read. I really liked Molly's quirky character & the way she saw the world through innocent lenses. I loved that we got to see her character really grow by the end of the book. "The world is a better place seen through a prism of colors rather than merely in black and white. In this new world, there is room for versions and variations, for shades of gray!"

The protagonist reminds me of myself... someone who lacks social skills but has a really good heart. I truly enjoyed this book down to every aspect- the characters, the plot, and so many heart warming moments. If you enjoy a clue finding book with a twist, read it!
