Molly the maid is proficient to a T. Her role is of the upmost importance to her and she takes great pride in her work. So when she discovers a dead body on her rounds, it makes for a terrible mess to clean up. Thus begins the twists and turns, and shock discoveries for both Molly and the reader. 

I really enjoyed this one, at first Mollys neurodivergent traits did trigger some stress as I wanted to jump into the book and show her what was really going on. However, as soon as the action took off I couldn’t put the book down. 

I adored the characters of Mr Preston and Charlotte and could have thrown the book across the room when Wilbur’s history was exposed. 

A great little mystery with some good tension and twists I didn’t see coming at all. And it was great to see that Molly the maid does see all.
