Im not much of a mystery reader but this book really captured my interest! The main character is like able and i felt myself caring for her as the story continued. It kept me doubting everyone and the twists were fun!

WOW!! How is this a debut novel? It is so freakin AMAZING!! Definitely, can understand why this book was the winner of Goodreads 2022 Mystery/Thriller genre!! The book had the most heartwarming and unique story that I found myself unable to put the book down! This book was everything and will be in my top favorites for the year!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Molly is such a delightful character and I loved her so much! She exhibits characteristics similar to a person with high functioning autism and therefore struggles with social skills and interpreting expressions. Molly works as a maid at the Regency Grand Hotel and takes pride in her job. While cleaning a room she discovers a dead body on the bed. Who is responsible for the crime? The lead investigator suspects Molly due to how she reacts during questioning. Who can Molly trust to help her out of this situation?

The story is so much more than a mystery! It reminds us that we are all the same in different ways. In addition, I am now in the mood to clean my house. I highly recommend this book! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Моллі - людина з розладом аутистичного спектру, вона не розуміє людей навколо і не вписується у соціальні стандарти. її бабуся, єдина близька людина у житті дівчини, померла. тепер Моллі працює покоївкою у готелі. одного дня вона знаходить у номері труп постійного клієнта, багатія Чарльза Блека, тому дівчина стає головною підозрюваною

читати від лиця Моллі дуже цікаво, вона ненадійний оповідач, у неї РАС, і тому постійно виникають сумніви щодо того, як вона описує події. але я дуже розчарована, бо це зовсім не детектив, а швидше якась кримінальна проза. розслідування тут зовсім немає, а негативні персонажі відразу очевидні

авторка намішала занадто багато всього у досить простій історії (ненавиджу таке), а ще мене розчарувало те, що фінал береться абсолютно нізвідки (теж не люблю таке, бо читач повинен мати можливість здогадатись, чим все закінчилось). ну і романтична лінія була явно зайва

The plot was interesting, but I didn’t love how they treated mental health and different abilities. Also the grandma’s quotes of “wisdom” were sooooo boring omg
