"Molly Dunn is not like everyone else. She struggles with social skills and interprets people literally. A smile means you're happy. 'Thank you' means you're grateful. Her Gran used to interpret the world for her, codifying it into simple rules that Molly could live by. Since Gran died a few months ago, twenty-five-year-old Molly has had to navigate life's complexities all by herself. No matter -- she throws herself with gusto into her work as a hotel maid. Her unique character, along with her obsessive love of cleaning and proper etiquette, make her an ideal fit for the job. She delights in donning her crisply pressed uniform each morning, stocking her trolley with hygienically wrapped soaps and miniature shampoo bottles, and returning guest rooms at the Regency Grand Hotel to a state of perfection. But Molly's orderly life is turned upside down when she enters the penthouse suite of Charles Black, an infamous wealthy guest, only to find it in a state of disarray and Mr. Black himself very dead in his bed. Did he die of natural causes or was he murdered? When the police arrive, they question Molly and soon misread her odd demeanour as guilt. She finds herself lost in a world of subtext and subterfuge, until help arrives in the form of some very unusual friends -- a portly hotel doorman, a shy dishwasher, and a no-nonsense lawyer. The Maid is about what it means to be the same as everyone else and yet entirely different. A Clue-like, locked-room mystery and a feel-good journey of the spirit, this whodunnit reveals that all mysteries can be solved through connection to the human heart."--Publisher.
