The Maid (Molly the Maid, #1)
by
by
A tale of a young woman, Molly the Maid, whose whole world is her grandmother and the hotel where she can do the best thing in the world - keep it tidy and clean. Suddenly, she becomes involved in a mystery death, the event which shows her that cleanliness, especially that of soul, is not all people's priority.
Molly, having been raised by her grandmother, is a loner and sees the world thorugh some general truths handed over to her and to which she sticks to and by which she lives. She is definitely a memorable character, the one you root for, and who deserves what she receives at the end.
*Many thanks to Nita Prose, HarperCollins UK, and NetGalley for arc in exchange for my honest review.*

Thank you, Dee :)) A good read with a rather unusual character :) Hope you enjoy it too! :)
This book received quite praise from some people I know. It seems interesting, I'm intrigued about Molly.
Thank you, Lea :)) Yes, Molly is a relatable heroine and the book is very much character-driven :)
Great review Beata!
Molly does sound like a memorable character, glad you enjoyed this, Beata.
Seems like there are a lot of poor social skills characters floating around in books these days. I’ve been passing on this one.

Terrific review Beata!!
You're point on with your review!! Enjoyed reading it.

Lovely review, Beata! Thank you for sharing :)
We agreed on the the number of stars… the high point was Molly— the rest for me was meh. Great review as always!! 😎
Wonderful review, Beata even though it didn't totally deliver for you.
Beata, that just happened for me with the Glass Woman (which by the way I think you loved :), any way, I enjoyed the character, then the mystery simply annoyed me :)

Lovely review. I felt differently than you as I just took it as the mystery fun book and character Molly was. It’s a great review Beata with great observations 😁💕
Thank you, Sue! :)) Yes, it was mystery fun book, I liked Molly's observations and attitude best, and her relationship with her granny ... :) They had a most special bond!
Lovely review, showing great restraint, Beata.
Thank you, Kevin :))
Great review, Beata! I am definitely on Team Molly!
I knew you would join the club, Jasmine! :)) Thank you! :)
Terrific review Beata!🧡
