The Maid by Nita Prose
5.0
5⭐️/5
I can see how this book isn’t for everyone, but if you want a lighter version of “Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine” (lighter meaning, there’s a murder! But idk the tone is lighter) than this is the book for you!
Molly, our lovable and quirky MC, was such a joy to spend time with. Not every book elicits the elusive “laugh OUT loud” instead of a measly “lol,” but there were moments where Molly’s perception of the world had me chuckling and the mystery kept me guessing!
Despite its comedic relief and curious happenings at The Grand Hotel, the emotional pull and exploration of the relationship between Molly and her Gran was the center of the novel for me.
Read this series if:
1. You like a quirky MC who is surrounded by a unique group of characters
2. You enjoy a cozy mystery from time to time or lean more into the Thursday Murder Club/Finlay Donovan series
3. You enjoy character-driven novels (but these don’t languish, they’re short and well-paced)
4. You like flashbacks and dual timelines and don’t mind suspending disbelief for the sake of the vibe
5. You need a highly addictive and fast read!
