4。5 stars。 Really enjoyed the characters in this book- and seeing Molly gradually figure out who her true friends are。 Fun book to read！

Bevin Stewart ，

Molly was probably one of the most interesting characters I've read about in a bit。 The only thing that threw me off was at some point during the second half her character seemed and acted a bit different。 Maybe I'm the only one that thinks this， I don't know。 Other than that I loved this！👍👍👍👍 Molly was probably one of the most interesting characters I've read about in a bit。 The only thing that threw me off was at some point during the second half her character seemed and acted a bit different。 Maybe I'm the only one that thinks this， I don't know。 Other than that I loved this！👍👍👍👍 。。。more

Nita Prose writes a superb debut novel。 Molly Gray， a maid at the exquisite Regency Grand Hotel， struggles with social interactions， but her job performance in returning guest rooms to a state of perfection is undeniable。 Molly， raised by her Gran， has simple rules to navigate life， but when her Gran dies Molly struggles with her emotional loss。 The Maid was slow to begin but keep reading。 It is filled with suspense， friendships， betrayal， and murder。 Nita Prose kept me engaged and topped it off Nita Prose writes a superb debut novel。 Molly Gray， a maid at the exquisite Regency Grand Hotel， struggles with social interactions， but her job performance in returning guest rooms to a state of perfection is undeniable。 Molly， raised by her Gran， has simple rules to navigate life， but when her Gran dies Molly struggles with her emotional loss。 The Maid was slow to begin but keep reading。 It is filled with suspense， friendships， betrayal， and murder。 Nita Prose kept me engaged and topped it off with an ending that warmed my heart。 。。。more

3，5⭐️ Era mi primera vez leyendo un cozy crime y me ha gustado mucho！ Me ha encantado la ubicación: un hotel de lujo。 Me ha gustado mucho Molly， la protagonista。 Y la historia del crimen y como Molly tiene que demostrar su inocencia me ha gustado。 Pero me ha parecido demasiado previsible。 Molly cuenta su pasado a través de recuerdos y ahí te das cuenta de lo que está pasando desde prácticamente el principio。 Hasta el epílogo， dentro de que era previsible， me estaba gustando bastante。 Pero luego 3，5⭐️ Era mi primera vez leyendo un cozy crime y me ha gustado mucho！ Me ha encantado la ubicación: un hotel de lujo。 Me ha gustado mucho Molly， la protagonista。 Y la historia del crimen y como Molly tiene que demostrar su inocencia me ha gustado。 Pero me ha parecido demasiado previsible。 Molly cuenta su pasado a través de recuerdos y ahí te das cuenta de lo que está pasando desde prácticamente el principio。 Hasta el epílogo， dentro de que era previsible， me estaba gustando bastante。 Pero luego en el epílogo cuentan algo que hace la protagonista que a mi parecer es totalmente contrario a su personalidad。 No me ha cuadrado ese final。 。。。more

Shriya Tamrakar ，

A really immersive book。 As someone who is socially daft， I could relate to this book a lot。 Worth the read for sure and was surprised by the plot twist。 But I will give it 4 out of 5 because the ending seemed a bit off to me。

Niki Manbeck ，

I enjoyed reading this book。 Molly is a maid working at a high class hotel。 She is described by her co-workers as odd and standoffish。 A murder takes place in the building and Molly is the prime suspect。 Molly is easily duped by people who she thinks are her friends。 The author did a great job at describing the characters and bringing them to life， so much so that I wanted to help Molly and tell her to run away when she was being led on by the ‘bad egg’。 This was a light mystery and definitely w I enjoyed reading this book。 Molly is a maid working at a high class hotel。 She is described by her co-workers as odd and standoffish。 A murder takes place in the building and Molly is the prime suspect。 Molly is easily duped by people who she thinks are her friends。 The author did a great job at describing the characters and bringing them to life， so much so that I wanted to help Molly and tell her to run away when she was being led on by the ‘bad egg’。 This was a light mystery and definitely worth the read！ 。。。more

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook。

This was a very different take on a murder mystery but it was good。 It was slow to start so I almost DNF'd it but it was worth sticking through it。 There were some plot holes though。 This was a very different take on a murder mystery but it was good。 It was slow to start so I almost DNF'd it but it was worth sticking through it。 There were some plot holes though。 。。。more

I enjoyed how it all wound up at the end but something is off about this book。 I think it's how the author has written the characters。 Also hard to tell if she was joking at times， half the cast have colours for surnames Gray， Black， Snow， Green？ It made it seem a bit ridiculous and I think it spoiled it a little。 I enjoyed how it all wound up at the end but something is off about this book。 I think it's how the author has written the characters。 Also hard to tell if she was joking at times， half the cast have colours for surnames Gray， Black， Snow， Green？ It made it seem a bit ridiculous and I think it spoiled it a little。 。。。more

this was very slow， but I loved molly and the ending

Aprille Noelle ，

A very good book to exemplify an unreliable narrator in a sense， but also to demonstrate the value of first person perspective。 At times it felt a bit slow， more in the first half， because you could tell it was the sort of book that would need to snowball。 A satisfying read， and an empowering depiction of a young woman with autism

3。8 for me。 Not bad but not that good。 It’s overhype tbh

Delightful！！！ A little more than 4 stars for me！ This was such an easy read and I do love a good whodunnit story。 I felt connected to Molly and other characters in the story which is a plus for me lately since I’ve read enough books where characters fell flat but not here！ As odd as Molly seems I think everyone can relate to her in many ways - being bullied， being invisible， having a bit of ocd， socially awkward， etc。 and that’s what makes you understand and trust her。 You can’t help but smile w Delightful！！！ A little more than 4 stars for me！ This was such an easy read and I do love a good whodunnit story。 I felt connected to Molly and other characters in the story which is a plus for me lately since I’ve read enough books where characters fell flat but not here！ As odd as Molly seems I think everyone can relate to her in many ways - being bullied， being invisible， having a bit of ocd， socially awkward， etc。 and that’s what makes you understand and trust her。 You can’t help but smile when she says things that people won’t normally say。 Also the heartwarming characters of Gran and Mr。 Preston！ Towards the second half of the book you pretty much figure out what was going on but not every little piece。 Once instance definitely shocked me and I honestly didn’t see the ending coming。 Overall a good read and I would recommend！ 。。。more

Jane ，

Found this okay， enjoyed getting to know the character of Molly and seeing how she saw the world and how her life developed but found the storyline far too unbelieveable and cliched。 As another reviewer put it， I feel as though I read a different book to others。 It was a slog to read to the end。

Dana Muus ，

I enjoyed reading this book。 Its about a young lady who works as a hotel maid at a posh hotel。 She is autistic （it's implied） and it's interesting to read how she sees the world through her eyes。 The main character loses the only family she has ever known so she is desperate to find friends and company。 There was a murder that happened at the hotel and the maid is involved since she was the one that found the dead person。 You get to see the day to day life she has， feel her loneliness and really I enjoyed reading this book。 Its about a young lady who works as a hotel maid at a posh hotel。 She is autistic （it's implied） and it's interesting to read how she sees the world through her eyes。 The main character loses the only family she has ever known so she is desperate to find friends and company。 There was a murder that happened at the hotel and the maid is involved since she was the one that found the dead person。 You get to see the day to day life she has， feel her loneliness and really get to know her。 The book has a few twists and kept me smiling and laughing quite a bit。 It has a good， solid ending which doesn't happen often， and an unexpected finale。 I would recommend this book， it's an easy read。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 This book has a weak storyline， I found it to be repetitive and boring。 I’m not sure if the main character was meant to be neurodivergent or just socially awkward but whichever it was it did not come across well。 This particular character trait made the simplest conversations difficult to read。 By difficult I mean I could not stop myself from cringing the entire time I read any and all interactions this woman had with anyone in the book。 To build up this character as someone who doesn’t understa This book has a weak storyline， I found it to be repetitive and boring。 I’m not sure if the main character was meant to be neurodivergent or just socially awkward but whichever it was it did not come across well。 This particular character trait made the simplest conversations difficult to read。 By difficult I mean I could not stop myself from cringing the entire time I read any and all interactions this woman had with anyone in the book。 To build up this character as someone who doesn’t understand people and then to throw in literally the last two pages of the book that she knew exactly what happened to Mr。 Black was just poor story line continuity。 I felt like the author wrote the end of the book first and then wrote the most boring story imaginable to place in front of it。 I did not buy this book， thank god， it was left in my house by my roommates tinder hookup and I wish she had taken the book with her， as it has not added any value to my brain or life。 。。。more

There are some books that are worth the hype， but this was one of them that just didn't do it for me。 I can't speak to the conversation happening in the reviews about whether Molly is neurodivergent or not， as a lot of reviewers more eloquently and knowledgeably explained their critiques of how this played a role in the book。 What I can say is that as an Asian woman， the characterization of the Mexican cook and the Asian maids felt so icky to me。 It felt like I was reading characterizations of n There are some books that are worth the hype， but this was one of them that just didn't do it for me。 I can't speak to the conversation happening in the reviews about whether Molly is neurodivergent or not， as a lot of reviewers more eloquently and knowledgeably explained their critiques of how this played a role in the book。 What I can say is that as an Asian woman， the characterization of the Mexican cook and the Asian maids felt so icky to me。 It felt like I was reading characterizations of non-white characters written thirty or forty years。 Dated and at times offensive。 。。。more

As an AI language model， I do not have subjective responses， opinions or biases to recommend or critique a book。 However， here is a brief summary of the book 'The Maid'。 'The Maid' is a memoir by the Filipino author， Amado L。 Cruz， about his experience as a young boy growing up in the Philippines in the 1950s during a time of social unrest and poverty。 The book follows Amado's life as the son of a poor family， where his parents have to work as maids and drivers for wealthy families to support him and his siblings。 Amado is brought up by their maid Teresa who treats him like her own child。 The story revolves around his bond with Teresa， & how she guides and protects him from the harsh realities of life。 The book depicts the socio-cultural complexities of Filipino society and its class inequalities。 The Maid is a story of resilience and love， demonstrating the power of kindness and care in people's lives。

As an AI language model， I cannot give personal opinions， but the book 'The Maid' by Kimberly Cutter has received generally positive reviews from readers and critics。 The novel is a fictional reimagining of the story of Joan of Arc， following her journey from a peasant girl to a military leader and martyr。 The book is praised for its vivid historical detail， strong character development， and powerful storytelling。 However， some find the portrayal of Joan's loyalty to God and her visionary experiences as problematic。 Overall， 'The Maid' is a compelling and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in historical fiction or Joan of Arc's story。

tpg2 ，

As an AI language model， I do not have personal preferences， opinions， or experiences regarding books。 However， I can provide some factual information about the book 'The Maid' written by Kimberley Cutter。 'The Maid' is a historical fiction novel published in 2011。 The story revolves around Joan of Arc， the legendary French heroine who led the French army to victory against the English during the Hundred Years' War。 The novel narrates Joan's journey from a young peasant girl to a military leader and martyr。 The story also portrays the political and social conditions of the time， the conflicts between the French and the English， and Joan's struggle to follow her divine calling despite societal norms and opposition。 Overall， 'The Maid' has received mixed reviews， with some praising it for its vivid depiction of Joan of Arc's life and others critiquing the novel's romanticization and historical inaccuracies。
