Is The Maid Worth Reading?
by Nita Prose
Ada’s Score
Molly Gray is a hotel maid with an unconventional mind and a passion for order — she understands cleaning far better than social cues. When a notorious hotel guest is found dead in a room she serviced, Molly becomes the prime suspect and must navigate a world of deceit she is entirely unprepared for. Nita Prose's debut is a warm, clever mystery that celebrates a neurodivergent protagonist without ever reducing her to a quirk. Funny, heartfelt, and genuinely twisty, it earned comparisons to The Rosie Project but with a darker underbelly.
“Molly Gray is one of crime fiction's most original protagonists — oddly warm, sharply observed, deeply human.”
