   Molly, a neurodivergent maid, finds the rich and mean Mr. Black dead in his bed. It turns out he was murdered. And Molly ends up under suspicion for his murder. But some of the people at the hotel are not who they seem. And they may have used Molly's neurodivergence to their advantage. 
   I enjoyed this book quite a bit. I know some said it was inconsistent, but I find that, as a neurodivergent person, I can see how her seemingly very shifting rules don't shift as much as they seem to do to some people. I know that certain rules in my mind are different than how a "normal" person may have their rules. And once you get to the end it all makes sense, at least to me. 
   I didn't guess the killer, though I guess another one of the "plot twists" (the one with her grandmother.)

Narrator Rating: 3.5 stars
  She did a decent job but for most of the book she had kind of pout to her voice which was childlike and annoying for a 20-something woman.

Very cute whodunnit with a very interesting premise-- a neurodivergent maid gets caught in the middle of a murder investigation and becomes a suspect when people take advantage of her. 

But the rest the read was a bit off-putting because the author is neurotypical, and I wasn't sure if she was doing a service or disservice to the autistic community. The author took inspiration from when she taught special needs children, but honestly I just read 'Yellowface'and I hope a sensitivity expert was involved...

This is definitely an interesting book and a mystery that kept me on my toes. It was kind of hard at times to see what was happening to Molly. But It had a great ending and so I would highly recommend it as a great mystery thriller with a protagonist that you can root for. It was nice to see Molly find her people and place.
