Molly is an endearing character, with her OCD for cleanliness and decency, her love for The Olive Garden, and despite better judgment, Molly trusts everyone. However, like Ted Mosby’s former girlfriend, I consistently heard myself saying “Oh honey” to the schemes she unknowingly got involved in. 

I got the impression that Molly was slightly on the spectrum. Therefore, there was some reading between the lines when it came to the investigation. Because of this, there was a lot of focus on character development which I enjoyed. 

The plot was clever, and fun, and had a Cluesque twist at the end that was far from Colonel Mustard in the library with the revolver. 

Overall, it was a unique quick read and, I am so very happy that Nita Prose has decided to continue Molly’s story by making Molly the Maid a series. I think there is so much more to uncover with this original, amateur sleuth
