this was really sweet towards the end, but frankly the amount of secondhand embarrassment and “duh” moments we are meant to feel was overwhelming. constantly seeing molly be the butt of jokes or straight up used because she didn’t understand was honestly painful. I will not be reading the next book for that reason but I liked the resolution of this book
this book felt like Monk except there’s no actual diagnosis and people just keep calling her vague things like “different” or “odd”. not sure how i feel about that tbh but the found family bits are really nice.
as an aside I have to say that the grandma was INCREDIBLY fucked up for a lot of reasons but especially how she died???? why would you make your child promise something like that

It was a slow-ish story of a maid doing her job, being “weird”, naive and ending up in trouble with the police. I didn’t think it would be very exciting but I ended up enjoying the couple twists at the end. Some bits were pretty predictable *cough* Rodney sucks *cough* and some parts felt forced, like the relationship at the end but I did enjoy the easy read mystery.
