This is the story of Molly. Molly loves being a maid in a fancy hotel. She isn't like everyone else- she has trouble with social cues, trouble making friends, trouble with breaks in her routine. But she is the best maid the hotel has. Hardworking, always available and always on time, she takes pride in a job well done. She lived with her grandmother until she died a few months ago, and now Molly is struggling to make ends meet with her small maid salary. When working on a room for a routine client of the hotel, she finds him dead. This starts Molly down a path she never imagined. It upturns her routine,and she discovers who her friends truly are.
This was a pretty good book. I listened to it, so that helped. Molly is on the Ace spectrum, and the reader did a good job portraying that. The beginning through about 3/4 of this book were good. I enjoyed the story,and really liked Molly as a character. But the last 1/4 of the book fell apart just a bit for me. Molly struggles a bit with morality at the end of the book, which seemed out of character from what we got from her the rest of the book. It just didn't make a lot of sense.
If you are looking for a good book about someone on the ACE spectrum, I would recommend "A Curious Dog In The Nightime".
