The Maid by Nita Prose

Molly Gray is a young maid that works in a ritzy hotel. Most likely on the autism spectrum, she is obsessively neat and unable to read social cues. One day, she happens upon a dead body in the room she is cleaning. She soon becomes suspect #1 and needs to prove her innocence.

Prose does a great job grabbing the reader from the first page by putting you into the mind of the character. She uses first-person narration so we get a glimpse into the quirky mind of Molly. Molly takes everything at face value so the reader picks up on clues quicker than she does and it is easy to figure out who the villains are.

While the unmasking of the murderer is sort of disappointing, Prose does reserve a few surprises in the final pages of the book. If you are a fan of mysteries, you will enjoy this light read.
