Because she behaves nothing like people expect a witness to behave, and because she knows more about the hotel's guests and staff than she lets on, Molly quickly becomes the police's prime suspect. To clear her name, she will have to accept help from an unlikely group of allies and learn to tell the difference between the people who mean her well and those who don't.\n\nNita Prose's debut is a warm, twisty contemporary mystery with the comfort of a cozy and a genuinely original narrator. The Maid is as much a story about being underestimated and finally seen as it is a whodunit, balancing a hotel full of secrets with real tenderness toward its heroine.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkc4w3petmgvyyecyskt61r2.jpg","LEQMV6$P}Z#.$jfQNuj[$Pf6J,bH",[916],{"id":917,"slug":918,"name":919},"01kkc4w3p1nfxsb75zb0vnr8g1","nita-prose-vpjq","Nita Prose",[921,922,923,924,928],{"id":408,"name":409,"slug":410,"is_fiction":18},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":18},{"id":412,"name":413,"slug":414,"is_fiction":18},{"id":925,"name":926,"slug":927,"is_fiction":18},59,"Contemporary Literature","contemporary-literature",{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":18},[930],{"id":931,"slug":932,"name":933,"position":297,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kkc4w3tzagcwbz5k859k4mc3","molly-the-maid-ay2y","Molly-the-Maid",{"pace":71,"complexity":7,"audience":74,"mood":935,"themes":936,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[76,301,206],[],{"id":938,"slug":939,"title":940,"description":941,"primary_cover_url":942,"cover_blurhash":943,"first_publish_year":944,"community_rating_avg":94,"community_rating_count":73,"page_count":945,"authors":946,"genres":951,"series":954,"enrichment":959},"01kxet3yfk56cbpd2sw4sdqy3e","death-by-darjeeling-kwnv","Death by Darjeeling","When a man is poisoned by tea, Theo is the prime suspect.
