The Maid

 

Another novel about a neurodivergent main character. Five stars from me again!

Poor naive, unassuming Molly the maid works in the Regency Grand Hotel in a big city and is one of the best maids due to her attention to detail and ability to follow all of the rules to the letter. She is definitely unique and on the spectrum in some capacity. But she is also so easy to like in her quaint ways and way of talk. When Molly finds a body in a room she is about to clean, she does what she can to help her friends who might be affected by the murder. 

Such a sweet reminder in the book to be careful of your friends and know your enemies. But when you can't tell which is which, it makes it mighty hard to survive. And Molly is on a bit of a down ward spiral after losing her Gran several months ago. Gran helped her find her way. But she still has Gran in her mind and in her heart and with her Gran as her guide through life, Molly just might make it after all.

This was such an endearing novel (minus the death and mystery) and Molly is such a strange bird in a great way that it is easy to root for her to figure things out. It's also kind of easy to sort out what is going on even when Molly doesn't.

I can't wait to read the next in the series!
