In development as a major motion picture
Molly Gray is not like everyone else. She struggles with social skills and misreads the intentions of others. 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 been navigating 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 crisp uniform each morning, stocking her cart with miniature soaps and bottles, and returning guest rooms at the Regency Grand Hotel to a state of perfection.
But Molly’s orderly life is upended the day she enters the suite of the infamous and wealthy Charles Black, only to find it in a state of disarray and Mr. Black himself dead in his bed. Before she knows what’s happening, Molly’s unusual demeanor has the police targeting her as their lead suspect. She quickly finds herself caught in a web of deception, one she has no idea how to untangle. Fortunately for Molly, friends she never knew she had unite with her in a search for clues to what really happened to Mr. Black—but will they be able to find the real killer before it’s too late?
A Clue-like, locked-room mystery and a heartwarming journey of the spirit, The Maid explores what it means to be the same as everyone else and yet entirely different—and reveals that all mysteries can be solved through connection to the human heart.

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

After Tova Sullivan’s husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she’s been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago. Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors—until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova.

On an island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather to celebrate two people joining their lives together as one. The groom: handsome and charming, a rising television star. The bride: smart and ambitious, a magazine publisher. It’s a wedding for a magazine or for a celebrity: the designer dress, the remote location, the luxe party favors, the boutique whiskey. The cell phone service may be spotty and the waves may be rough, but every detail has been expertly planned and will be expertly executed.

Featured Article: Best of the Year—The 15 Best Mysteries and Thrillers of 2022
This year was an amazingly fruitful one for mysteries and thrillers. As we tried to narrow this list down, a popular refrain among editors was: "Don’t forget this, don’t forget that, and what about this?" Some of us liked when the twists and turns began within the first few minutes, while others were happy to go on the rocky, thrilling rides the genre provides with a little guessing along the way. But we’re sure about one thing—this list is simply the best.

Flamboyant Doris and boring Bob are an odd couple, but as Marge watches their comings and goings, she starts to wonder if there’s more than meets the eye.

Travis Wren has an unusual talent for locating missing people. Often hired by families as a last resort, he takes on the case of Maggie St. James—a well-known author of dark, macabre children’s books—and is soon led to a place many believed to be only a legend. Called Pastoral, this reclusive community was founded in the 1970s by like-minded people searching for a simpler way of life. By all accounts, the commune shouldn’t exist anymore and soon after Travis stumbles upon it…he disappears. Just like Maggie St. James.

Recently widowed Jillian Hart is rebuilding a life for herself and her three beloved cats - Chablis, Syrah, and Merlot - as a quilter in a small South Carolina town. The quilts she makes are for cats as smart, special, and sweet as her own, and business is thriving. But when she returns from an overnight quilting show, she discovers Chablis sneezing - and since Chablis is allergic to humans, that can only mean one thing: Someone has broken into her house. When she realizes her Abyssinian, Syrah, is missing, Jillian suspects catnapping. Spurred by Chablis and Merlot’s mournful meowing, she investigates - and discovers more missing cats and a murder.

For decades, Marge has been spying on her neighbors Doris and Bob, reporting every sordid thing she sees to her husband, Harold. Flamboyant Doris and boring Bob are an odd couple, but as Marge watches their comings and goings, she starts to wonder if there’s more than meets the eye. Is Doris’s latest hobby—flamenco dancing, of all things—an attempt to spice things up, or is there something more sinister going on in the house across the street? Soon enough, Marge learns that digging into her suspicions means digging herself into a very deep hole.

Travis Wren has an unusual talent for locating missing people. Often hired by families as a last resort, he takes on the case of Maggie St. James—a well-known author of dark, macabre children’s books—and is soon led to a place many believed to be only a legend. Called Pastoral, this reclusive community was founded in the 1970s by like-minded people searching for a simpler way of life. By all accounts, the commune shouldn’t exist anymore and soon after Travis stumbles upon it…he disappears. Just like Maggie St. James.

The quilts she makes are for cats as smart, special, and sweet as her own, and business is thriving. But when she returns from an overnight quilting show, she discovers Chablis sneezing - and since Chablis is allergic to humans, that can only mean one thing: Someone has broken into her house. When she realizes her Abyssinian, Syrah, is missing, Jillian suspects catnapping. Spurred by Chablis and Merlot’s mournful meowing, she investigates - and discovers more missing cats and a murder.

cheap twists, unbelievable ND protagonist
I wanted to like this story because of the premise: detective story with a neurodivergent protagonist (guessing autistic, but not specified) who loves her job as a maid. But the 1st person narration felt like a bad choice to me. Having the ND protagonist constantly rattle off elaborate descriptions of her environment and what she's doing felt much too chatty and out of character. Separately, it takes place in a city in the modern day (she's 25 and has a smart phone), but we're supposed to believe she's never come across another ND person and suspected she, too, might be on the spectrum? After a lifetime of bullying and being called robotic?
But what really dropped this to low-3 stars for me was that the supposedly honest-to-a-fault narrator kept some bombshells hidden until the very end. Without going into spoilers, the big reveals show us she has been operating in seriously gray ethical space the *whole time*, but we don't get to see that character growth - it just gets tacked on as a cheap gotcha after the narrator spends the whole novel telling us she sees things in black and white. I get that she's a Colombo fan, and maybe the narrator is supposed to be trying to tell her own detective story (omitting key facts)? If so, that doesn't come across; she tells us she's telling "her truth."
The book wasn't a total loss, though. It has secret allies and varied, unique characters (I liked the wife of the murder victim). It was an interesting attempt at having an ND character share her perspective, not through a neurotypical lens.
The audiobook narrator did a good job switching back and forth between the other characters and the formal speech of the protagonist.

Just listened to this second time. In part because I’ve run out of credits!The narrator is perfect for the main character. The story is fast paced and engaging. If you listen while you drive you will be prompted to take the long route home to listen longer. The main character has something to teach us all.

So good!
Great main character which makes this book really stand out compared to others. A lighter read from some of the other books in the mystery genre that can be pretty heavy. I highly recommend!

Too repetitive. Could be shortened by 1/3. An abridged version would be better. Started out well but then dragged.

The Maid
5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!
Great story, great narrator, great mystery, very impressed 👏! It is about a maid that works in a very upscale hotel who lived with her grandmother who recently died. The maid, whose name is Molly, is on the spectrum. She is very literally and needs some everyday things explained to her. She finds a dead body in one of her rooms and that's when the action starts. Elements include drugs, trophy wives, illegal immigrants, money grabbing maids, nasty boyfriends, doormen, lawyers, cops and best of all, the unlikeliest of friends. I highly recommend this audio recording. 👌

Enjoyable Listen!
The narrator did an outstanding job with the unique tone and formality of the main character, then switching to the other characters and making them identifiable. I think the reviewers who complain the protagonist isn’t believable because she swings from profoundly naive to quite shrewd are missing the point. This character was not only sheltered but ND. Her neurodiversity certainly led her to significantly misinterpret situations and intentions, but that doesn’t mean she’s not intelligent, have her own moral code or can’t make complex decisions. The rules she lives by don’t usually take her down the easy road, and assuming she’s on the autism spectrum and has a penchant for cleaning and organization, she seems pretty strong. The first person story telling was interesting and left the reader to imagine what was really going on from a NT perspective. It wasn’t an edge of your seat thriller but more like something that could actually happen in that kind of environment with all kinds of people. And at the end a little Colombo type wrap-up without the rumpled trench coat. It’s an entertaining listen, just don’t go in expecting a police procedural or a courtroom drama.

Dead In A Bed
This was the story of a sweet, unassuming character moving invisibly throughout her simple life and world. The Maid gets caught up in a murder & the mystery it becomes thereafter.
Honestly, it was difficult for me to get into the book & narration at first but it slowly came around for me. It did feel as though a few chapters were missing but again, was ended in a tidy manner. I'd recommend as a quick read to others.

Tender Insight
This narrative rewards the reader with hope and understanding for the plight of being human. It opens slowly, but gains momentum as the story moves forward. Looking through the eyes of a young, developmentally challenged hotel maid gives the reader a chance to to feel invisibility and the derision suffered by many workers of “menial” jobs. Truth, however, triumphs, turning The Maid”. Into a must listen.
