The Maid by Nita Prose

The best part of the book was the last 5 minutes. She had so little self awareness and definitely should not have been out on her own.

Dnf’d, as another review put it I found the main character to be a caricature of a neurodivergent person. Couldn’t get past it.

This book was meh. The writing -meh. The plot - meh. The characters were a mixed bag. While the main protagonist Molly is very lovable, she felt more like a caricature of someone who is neuro divergent rather than a truly believable person. I didn’t dislike it but there are much better books out there to spend your time on. Probably more of a 2.5.

This is an engrossing read about a murder in a hotel and a (high functioning but on the spectrum) maid who is accused of it. My favorite character is a minor one: Juan Manuel, a dishwasher in the hotel. This book is a great summer read. It is hard to put down and endearing.

Very cute and easy read. The kind of book you want with your morning coffee or a cup of cocoa. It was also nice to read from such a different perspective. The ending was a little odd, but forgivable for such a cute murder mystery.

I really enjoyed this thriller! It was so fun to listen to! Molly was a really likable character, and I found myself feeling so bad for her and her naïveté. This plot was so interesting and held my attention throughout the whole book! The only thing that was lacking for me was the ending! It just felt too easy and too simple
