THE MAID by Nita Prose

Not to be confused with ‘The Maid’ nonfiction adaptation from book to TV online streaming documentary that was endorsed by former President Obama. This just happens to have the same title.

Fresh out of the starting blocks we have another one to add to our hot picks for 2022. This is an exceptional debut novel of ‘Agatha Christie style’ mystery with an endearing lead character of Molly. If you’ve read ‘Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine’ then you will recognise familiar character traits in Molly and her methodical approach to life.

Set in modern day, Molly the maid is dutiful, efficient and committed to ‘righting the world with tidiness’ in the fictitious Regency Grand Hotel’s exclusive rooms. She becomes the focus of attention after a body is discovered in one of her allocated rooms…but was it murder? What has she witnessed and who is to be trusted?

“I am your maid. I know about your secrets… your dirty laundry. But what do you know about me?”

A heart-warming mystery that the author has described as a ‘literary game of Cluedo’! This has gone straight to my favourites list!
