The Maid (Molly the Maid, #1)

‘The world is a better place seen through a prism of colors rather than merely in black and white. In this new world, there is room for versions and variations, for shades of gray’.-Nita Prose, The Maid
Nice, cozy mystery!
I went into this with no idea what I was about to read. My GR friends gave it rave reviews and while I enjoyed it I wasn’t as enamored. Think this was because I was expecting more sinister and less quirky.
Molly is an ‘odd bird’ that will make you smile with every one of her Grans ‘life lessons’. While the actual mystery didn’t meet my expectations I would still recommend this to those looking for a lighter mystery that will warm your heart with its underlining message. 4 stars.

Glad you enjoyed Molly too, Lori!
Terrific review, Lori! I absolutely agree with you!
Molly had me smiling too, Great review Lori!
Lovely review Lori ❤ When I am in the mood, light mystery is really cozy and enjoyable.
Glad this was enjoyable even if I bit more quirky and lighthearted. Great review, Lori.

Lovely review, Lori. I'm looking forward to meeting Molly!

Great review, Lori! Thanks for reminding me that this is a lighter read!
Excellent review Lori, glad you enjoyed it.
Same feelings so far..I’m half way through and I’m enjoying it but not wowed. I like the concept of a cozy mystery, something I haven’t really read before. The premise is cute and I have mixed feelings about how Molly is portrayed but overall it’s a good read.
