The Maid (Hardcover)

In his bed, a charmingly eccentric hotel maid discovers a guest slain. In this truly unique debut, solving the mystery will turn her previously tidy world upside down.

"A murder mystery with immense heart... smart, fascinating, and pleasantly refreshing." —Lisa Jewell, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Family Upstairs

Molly Gray isn't like the rest of the girls. She has trouble with social skills and misinterprets others' intentions. Molly's grandmother used to interpret the world for her, breaking it down into simple principles she could follow.

Molly, 25, has been navigating life's complications on her own since Gran passed away a few months ago. Whatever the case may be, she goes all out for her job as a hotel maid. Her distinct personality, combined with her obsession with cleaning and good manners, makes her a great candidate for the position. She looks forward to donning her neat uniform each morning, packing her cart with small soaps and bottles, and returning the Regency Grand Hotel's guest rooms to immaculate condition.

Molly's ordered existence is thrown into disarray the day she walks into the suite of the infamous and affluent Charles Black, only to find everything in shambles and Mr. Black dead in his bed. Molly's strange temperament has the police targeting her as their main suspect before she even realizes what's going on. She swiftly becomes entangled in a web of deception that she is unable to unravel. Fortunately for Molly, friends she never realized she had banded together to uncover answers to what happened to Mr. Black—but will they be able to find the real killer before it's too late?
