The Maid

It's a cozy crime read with a neurodivergent narrator in the guise of 25 year old Molly Gray. She's working as a maid at the Regency Grand, a five star boutique hotel. It's her only respite in an otherwise lonely world since her Gran passed away nine months ago.

Molly's an easy mark who struggles to pick up on social cues and read individual's intent. When she discovers the very much dead body of a boorish millionaire while cleaning his room, things start to unravel. In a life spent as mostly invisible and overlooked, it's clear the odds are stacked against her. Thanks to some found family, a plan is hatched to save her and nab the ne'er do wells.

Total feel-good arc concocted to be made into a heart-warming movie with an unlikely hero satisfyingly prevailing over a cabal of absolute cads with a host of quirky secondary characters. Pure confectionary light reading that doesn't bear too much thinking about, the bookish equivalent of a lazy Sunday afternoon TV movie.
