The Maid: A GMA Book Club Pick: A Novel (Molly the Maid)

Not as good as I expected. Even though it had a twist, it was very predictable at times and the characters should have been better developed. Nothing compared to Agatha Christie or Colombo, both of which are referenced in the book.

I didn't expect to like this book as much as I did! I loved Molly the Maid, and the story was a fun mystery while being pretty hilarious in parts!

3.75. Though pretty predictable I thought Molly the Maid was a lovely character. I also didn’t see the all of the twists coming.

It was just very meh. I don't think the logic really made sense about why Molly would murder Mr.Black, there was no motive really, so the police just looked dumb. Plus that twist came out of NOWHERE, and it also didn't really make sense. Plus Molly's character was so all over the place and changed whenever it was convenient for the author. The book didn't really capture me or get me excited to pick it up and read it at all. It felt like I just getting it over with. Overall, it wasn't horrible but it wasn't what I consider to be a great read either.

Molly is a maid at a hotel. She takes great pride in her work and completing it perfectly. Mr. Black and his wife are well known VIPs in the hotel and Molly is responsible for restoring their room to a state of perfection. When Molly finds Mr. Black dead in his bed, she becomes suspect #1 due to a series of unfortunate events. Molly must find a way to prove her innocence while finding out who the real killer is.


This was such a fun light hearted mystery. I absolutely loved Molly and all her quirks, it’s clear she’s a little different, but life would be boring if we were all the same! I listened to this on audio and the narrator was absolutely perfect. I’d definitely recommend it!
