“I am your maid. I know so much about you. But when it comes down to it: what is it that you know about me?”

Molly Gray is a maid at the Regency Grand Hotel. She loves cleaning, is great at following the rules, loves to help people, and has trouble understanding social cues. This gets her into some trouble when she finds a high-profile hotel guest dead in his bed one day while she’s cleaning.

The Maid was one of my January BOTM picks, and I binged it in a day. I thought this was just such a fun and light mystery read. Molly was a fantastic main character - I’ve heard her equated to Eleanor Oliphant a few times - because she is super awkward, literal, and ignorant. All the side characters play well into the story, and while the mystery isn’t quite that mysterious, watching the whole scenario play out was delightful.
