I thoroughly enjoyed the descriptions of being an invisible maid over the course of the novel. I think it highlighted some of the aspects of being in custodial services excellently: seeing people live their lives without giving you a second thought, seeing others at their most vulnerable moments, knowing your clients' routines as well as your own habits.

The clue-like mystery of this novel was at a fast enough pace where the suspense didn't feel like it was dragging on for too long but also felt relatively low stakes despite the police involvement. While the mysterious death was done well, I found that I was more captivated by the reveals surrounding Molly's personal life and choices.
