5/22/2023 0 Comments The Maid by Nita Prose"Never in my life did I think I'd hold such a lofty position in a grand hotel," she says, also sharing that without Gran, "It's as though all the color has been drained from the apartment we shared." Work remains a respite, a place where Molly has responsibilities and a routine. "I like things simple and neat," says Molly, who cleans "twenty-plus rooms" at the Regency Grand, "a five-star boutique hotel." She tells us how she copes with the world. Molly Gray is neurodivergent, and may even have Autism spectrum disorder, not that Molly uses either of those terms. The above storyline would be enough for a solid read, but Prose dials up the tension by creating a realistically different heroine. In a fancy urban hotel, a guest lies dead, and the main suspect is Molly Gray, a member of the cleaning staff whose devotion to her work is matched only by her love for her deceased grandmother. Devotees of cozy mysteries, rejoice: Nita Prose's debut, The Maid, satisfies on every level - from place to plot to protagonist.
