A review by izasballad
The Hotel Maid by Michelle Dunne, Michelle Dunne

3.0

I ended up being more invested in this book than I initially thought it would. The author's writing and vivid descriptions made the scenes come alive in my head. While it did have some twists and turns, it lacked the intense suspense I look for in mystery/thriller books. However, the complex characters and the alternating point of view kept me engaged. Although it started too slow for my liking, I got more invested when it reached the climax. It is lacking in the suspense department. Despite the amount of mystery/thriller books I have read, this book still kept me guessing. Even though I find it a bit predictable, I still enjoyed piecing it all together. There were a few inconsistencies in the story that I noticed, but overall, it was a quick and enjoyable read.

To avoid spoilers, I will keep this review short. I would not say it is a groundbreaking work, but I would still recommend this book to people who would like to read quick mystery/thriller books. I would happily check out other books from Michelle Dunne! Thank you, NetGalley and Storm Publishing for allowing me to read this in advance.
