The Maid is a compelling, enjoyable and twisty mystery which kept me hooked until the very end. From the opening lines it is very clear that there is something a little bit different about Molly the maid and it was fantastic to see her little quirks and character develop as the book went on.
The storyline feels a little bit predictable at times but I enjoyed that aspect in a way because I could almost see what Molly was about to do or say and wanted to dive in ahead of time and stop her. It made me really invested in Molly and her adventures.
I listened to the audiobook and really loved Lauren Ambrose as the narrator, her voice and mannerisms really captured Molly and brought her to life for me.
A fun, gripping whodunnit which also makes you think about how about how easily we often jump to conclusions and misconceptions and little too quickly about people, their personalities and their abilities.
