Book Review of The Maid

The Maid

Interesting premise but oh so boring and slow. I almost quit but a friend encouraged me to finish. I found the constant mutterings of Molly tiresome; yes, we realize she's "different", she doesn't read social clues like most people, she's obsessed with cleanliness, she lives with her Gran who spouts 'truisms' in every conversation. The book went on and on with these traits for over half way!
When Molly gets arrested for the murder of one her hotel guests, the story shifts a little. But I couldn't buy into her sudden "normal" behavior. Overall, it was a pleasant read but I wouldn't seek out another book written by same author.
