This mystery was not for me.  Molly is not like everyone else but she has found her purpose in life as a maid in a swanky hotel.  She takes her job very seriously and always wants to make sure everything is perfect.  Her coworkers however do not understand her and take advantage of her eager to please nature.  Her grandmother has recently died and her job is her one joy in life.  When she finds a dead body in one of rooms she becomes the prime suspect.  The few friends she has work with her to clear her name.  The mystery was good and there were plenty of suspects. I found the book cold and sterile like a recently cleaned hotel room.  The book did not become interesting until the end.
