The Maid

The Maid
内容简介:

A charmingly eccentric hotel maid discovers a guest murdered in his bed. Solving the mystery will turn her once orderly world upside down in this utterly original debut.

Molly Gray is not like everyone else. She struggles with social skills and misinterprets the intentions of others. Her gran used to interpret the world for her, codifying it into simple rules that Molly could live by.

Since Gran died a few months ago, twenty-five-year-old Molly has had to navigate life’s complexities all by herself. No matter—she throws herself with gusto into her work as a hotel maid. Her unique character, along with her obsessive love of cleaning and proper etiquette, make her an ideal fit for the job. She delights in donning her crisp uniform each morning, stocking her cart with miniature soaps and bottles, and returning guest rooms at the Regency Grand Hotel to a state of perfection.

But Molly’s orderly life is turned on its head the day she enters the suite of the infamous and wealthy Charles Black, only to find it in a state of disarray and Mr. Black himself very dead in his bed. Before she knows what’s happening, Molly’s unusual demeanor has the police targeting her as their lead suspect. She quickly finds herself caught in a web of deception, one she has no idea how to untangle. Fortunately for Molly, friends she never knew she had unite with her in a search for clues to what really happened to Mr. Black—but will they be able to find the real killer before it’s too late?

A Clue-like, locked-room mystery and a heartwarming journey of the spirit, The Maid explores what it means to be the same as everyone else and yet entirely different—and reveals that all mysteries can be solved through connection to the human heart.

    推理还行。但我觉得Molly的智商在遇到律师前后差距特别大。之前我觉得正常世界是不是对她来说很难适应。之后突然就变得好机智了。

    2.5星不能再多了,畅销榜第一是咋回事?作为第一本看的悬疑推理类英文小说,还是有点失望了。一星给Gran 的人生鸡汤一星给通俗易懂的语言0.5星给剧情的反转

    《公寓大楼里的谋杀案》之酒店版,主题和设定都很有趣,可惜故事差强人意,所谓反转也很生硬,反而是女仆莫莉与他人的交际互动还算有些趣味(等到中译本出版后可以顺便观察一下这种趣味能在多大程度上被译文保留)。
