Review: This was not an enjoyable read, with an unreliable narrator (because of Molly's autistic brain misinterpreting things), and Molly continually being taken advantage of and bullied because of her autism. The final reveal felt unbelievable and a little lazy in a world of cameras.

It’s like the author took every stereotypical characteristic of a person with autism and decided to go with it, but ultimately completely missed the mark. This is coming from a ND person myself. That being said, the rating was based mostly off of the plot, which was pretty boring. I don’t really understand the hype around it unless it’s mainly because the FMC is “quirky and different.” I had to listen to this at 2.5 speed.

While I was entertained, I do have a problem with the way the author writes the characters. A bit too much stereotyping for me, in all honesty I wonder if the author has ever had interactions with any neurodivergent individual. It seems as though she googled "autistic behaviors" and threw them around to create'Molly the maid'.

Surprisingly wholesome for a murder mystery with a bullied mc, I look forward to listening to the next story about Molly the Maid.

Upon rereading, I found Molly's innocence endearing and her quirks to be charming. I love an underdog story, and Molly was easy to root for. I'm so glad I gave this book a second chance and absolutely loved the themes of friendship and found family. The second book in the series is waiting for me at the library, and I can't wait to be back in Molly's world at The Regency Grand Hotel!
