What a fun book to start out the year! It gave me Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine vibes, meets the Hulu show Only Murders in the Building. I loved the setting of the opulent Regency Grand hotel, and the cast of characters were vivid and immediately interesting. Molly the maid is not who you think she is…I read this book in two days trying to figure out who-did-what and how the story would unfold. I could see this being a great re-read, or a book club selection. What a fantastic debut by the author!
