The Maid by Nita Prose

This is a relatively quick read at just over 300 pages. The main character is truly delightful. She’s honest, direct, and often uncertain. Her name is Molly and she happens to be a maid at a fancy hotel. At this hotel, a guest is found dead and the circumstances surrounding the death entangles Molly in situations she’s uncertain how to handle. 

What makes this book different than others?

Molly doesn’t have a specifically named diagnosis, but it’s apparent that she struggles with social cues, sarcasm, and reading the true intent of others. Despite all this, she’s highly skilled in her job, takes great pride in it, and her attention to detail is appreciated by the hotel clients. 

I enjoyed the story and it’s pace. Originally I was thinking it would be a good YA novel due to the fact that much of the language is simple. However, with Molly’s strict adherence to proper etiquette, there may be enough vocabulary to keep higher-level readers engaged. 

Thank you to Netgalley for the opportunity to read the kindle ARC in exchange for an honest review. #netgalley #themaid
