It begins like any other day for Molly Gray, silently dusting her way through the luxury rooms at the Regency Grand Hotel.
But when she enters suite 401 and discovers an infamous guest dead in his bed, a very messy mystery begins to unfold. And Molly’s at the heart of it – because if anyone can uncover the secrets beneath the surface, the fingerprints amongst the filth – it’s the maid . . .

‘A smart, riveting, and deliciously refreshing debut. Prose knows how to pen a murder mystery with tremendous heart’ Lisa Jewell
‘The book’s endearing central character and atmospheric hotel setting make it an escapist pleasure — a mini-break between the pages’ Sunday Times
‘Finally booksellers have a concrete answer to the question 'I loved Eleanor Oliphant – what should I read next?'’ Bookbrunch
‘A gripping and heart-warming whodunnit narrated by an intriguing and original heroine. Skilfully layered and masterfully told. I loved it’ Santa Montefiore
‘An endearing debut . . . Prose threads a steady needle with the intricate plotting’ New York Times
‘The Maid is elegant, warm-hearted and wry, and Molly the most winningly off-beat narrator since Eleanor Oliphant. An absolute joy’ Louise Candlish
‘An instantly gripping and delightful whodunnit’ Stylist
‘Nita Prose has created a true 21st Century heroine in a brilliantly-written, transformative story’ Janice Hallett
‘Molly the Maid has captured my heart! I loved this charming and utterly original whodunit . . . Put this on your to-read pile immediately’ Sarah Pearse
‘Startingly good . . . a thoroughly beguiling read . . . full of such offbeat charm that you will root for [Molly] all the way’ Reader’s Digest
‘Unlike anything else I’ve read, this kept me up way past lights out’ Katie Fforde
‘This is going to be HUGE! A heroine as loveable and quirky as Eleanor Oliphant, caught up in a crime worthy of Agatha Christie. Loved it!’ Clare Pooley
‘A contemporary murder mystery with a unique heroine who will appeal to Eleanor Oliphant fans’ Daily Mail
The narrator in particular was 'delightful' and really brought Molly, the main character, to life. I dare say this is probably a book better to listen to rather than read!
The plot is quite simple but somehow I didn't really care because I became so invested in Molly and the rest of the characters. While it's not explicitly stated, Molly is strongly implied to be on the spectrum so it's nice to see neurodivegent representation in books.
Highly recommended!
