// The Maid by Nita Prose
The Maid is so much more than a normal whodunnit novel. Have you ever imagined a murder mystery to be humorous and heartwarming? Well, The Maid is exactly that. And i honestly don't think I've ever come across a protagonist as likeable as Molly Gray. There were times when I instinctively wanted to reach out to her and squeeze her hand or even give her a warm hug. This story is as much about character development as it is about the murder mystery. If there is one whodunnit you absolutely are planning to read this year, let it be this one.
Molly Gray is a woman of few words. Her entire life crashes when her grandmother dies, leaving her completely alone. Amidst all the sadness, there's one thing that Molly finds solace in. It is cleaning. Perhaps this is why there's no better job for her than that of being a maid. Molly works for a posh hotel, where her clients tip her generously for the splendid job she does, her favourite being Mrs Black who stays in the hotel quite often. They share a bond that exceeds the usual maid-client relationship. Molly thinks that she finally has a friend. It is at this hotel that a bunch of other characters are introduced to us, some suspicious and others fairly simple.
When Molly discovers a dead body in one of the rooms during her cleaning session, her seemingly normal life is thrown out the window.
This story revolves solely around Molly and I wouldn't have had it any other way. There's humour that pops up ever so often, especially when we least expect it making it such an enjoyable read. Honestly, Nita Prose has outdone herself and I cannot wait to read more of her.
Will I ever stop recommending this book?
Not at all. So you may as well read it :)
