A delightful, cozy crime mystery
!
It is light and humorous with lovable characters (as well as a scoundrel)!
I simply adored Molly Gray (Molly Maid)! She felt "alive" every time she arrived at the Regency Grand Hotel (a five star boutique hotel) where every day of work was a joy to her!
Molly knows that others may see her as a lowly person, but she is ever so thankful for her job. She even pinches herself daily! She is alone now that her Gran has passed away and since she is socially challenged, she depends on the lessons her wise Gran taught her like, "Never mind what others think; it's what you think that matters."
One morning Molly is busy cleaning and following her motto of "Never leave a mess to be discovered by a guest." when she finds a guest very dead in his bed.
The Maid was a perfect escape, part quirky rom-com, part classic who dunnit . Molly is naive and quirky, and may win your heart.
Thanks to the publisher and NG for granting my wish! OUT on Jan 4, 2022

I have really enjoyed The Magpie Murders & this sounds very similar. Love almost any character that is described as ‘charming and eccentric’. Thanks for the great review..
