This book has a minimal plot, which is usually not my choice. However, it was fascinating listening to the maid tell her view of her life and the family who employs her.

I am at odds with myself when describing this book. It was propulsive, yet I was disappointed in the reveal. Major and minor events happened, but they all felt very dream-like and surreal, which made me question if they really happened. The book was well written, but I can't imagine wanting to read it again. It is probably a good fit for people who enjoy suspenseful literary fiction, but I would not describe it as a mystery.
