The Maid by Nita Prose

The Maid by Nita Prose
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read and loved this book as part of the Albright College zoom book discussion and that my friend Sue Murphy recommended. The writing by Prose was delightful, concise, and pitch perfect as she describes, maid Molly Grey to the reader. Molly lives with her Gran, loves her deeply and has learned many life lessons through her Gran's quotes. Molly is socially awkward but loves her job as a maid at the Regency Hotel, since as a youngster her Gran taught her about the importance of cleaning and neatness. As Molly strives each day to return each hotel room to a state of perfection, one day changes everything---she walks in on Mr. Black and finds he is dead and she quickly becomes the main suspect. I read this in 2 days and loved learning more and more about Molly---how she desperately misses her Gran (her only friend), pines after a bartender, Rodney, and makes sure Juan Manuel has a room every night in the hotel, since his friend, Rodney, told her that he lost his visa and has no place to stay. I loved all the characters, the plot and the many twists and turns, this delicious mystery takes. Highly recommended!
