The Maid by Nita Prose
Molly Gray is unique compared to other people. She has trouble interacting with others and frequently misinterprets their intentions. Molly’s grandmother used to translate the world for her, codifying everything into clear guidelines that she could follow.
Since Gran passed away a few months ago, Molly, age 25, has had to deal with the difficulties of life on her own. Whatever the case, she enthusiastically dives into her profession as a hotel maid. She is the perfect candidate for the job because of her distinctive personality, obsession with cleanliness, and understanding of the right protocol. She enjoys putting on her polished uniform every morning, filling her cart with tiny soaps and bottles, and making sure the guest rooms at the Regency Grand Hotel are immaculate.

The day Molly visits the opulent and infamous Charles Black’s apartment, however, her tidy life is upended when she discovers it in a chaotic state and Mr Black dead in his bed. Before Molly realizes what’s occurring, the police have her as their top suspect due to her peculiar behaviour. She soon finds herself entangled in a web of lies that she is unable to escape from. Luckily for Molly, she teams up with pals she didn’t even know she had in order to look for information about what actually happened to Mr Black. However, will they be able to identify the real culprit before it’s too late?
The Maid explores what it means to be the same as everyone else and yet very different—and illustrates that all riddles may be solved through connection to the human heart. It is a Clue-like locked-room mystery and a delightful voyage of the soul.
At the Regency Grand Hotel, Molly is a maid. She stands out among the other employees there. She is serious about her work. She is quite diligent. When she exits a room after cleaning it, it is pristine. Since his work visa expired, she has been providing Juan Manuel, a dishwasher in the hotel’s kitchen, a key card for a room each night so he won’t be left without a place to stay. One of the hotel’s guests, Giselle Black, is a friend of hers. During one of her cleaning assignments, she returns to clean the bathroom of the Blacks’ suite, which she had already cleaned and discovers that Mr Black has passed away. What should she do? What happens if she is suspected by the police?
