The Maid-Book Review

The Maid is a compelling and quirky mystery about the death of a prominent hotel guest and the maid who finds his body.

25-year-old Molly Gray is proud to be a maid at The Grand Regency Hotel. She finds pleasure in returning hotel rooms back into states of perfection. Cleaning brings her joy, which has been lacking in her life since her Gran died several months ago. Molly enjoys her job--not only because she is good at it, but also because it allows her to be invisible, enabling her to see the guests and the workers at the Regency Grand in a different way. Molly doesn’t understand all that she sees, as she sees the world in a different way than others.

I just adored Molly! I loved how Gran gave the pointers that helped her have a more simple life. There was just so much meaning behind this story. I felt that her job as a maid in the Regency Grand Hotel gave Molly a lot of confidence in herself. She loved to clean and she loved her job.

In addition to Molly, there is a lovely cast of characters, with a few scoundrels mixed in. The voice of her deceased Gran is heard throughout. There is also Mr. Preston and Juan Manuel, amongst others, who make an impact on Molly.

Touching on themes of difference, invisibility, identity, and voice, as well as friendship, love, and family, I absolutely loved this book! Molly is a character that I will not forget anytime soon.

Five big stars, one of my favorites of 2022!
