The Maid

Molly is proud of her work as a maid in an elite hotel, but she has struggled to pay her rent and to keep going after the death of her beloved grandmother. Molly is awkward in social situations and, to help her cope, her grandmother taught her a series of aphorisms that offer pithy advice. And so Molly plugs along, cheerfully cleaning up other people's messes until one day, as she is tidying up a room, she finds one of the guests in his bed, dead.

Molly is a delightful character, naive in the ways of the wicked in the world, firm in her ideas of what is right.

A lovely little mystery.
