About the author
Nita Prose is the pen name of Canadian novelist and book editor Nita Pronovost. Before publishing fiction, she worked in Canadian publishing and held senior editorial roles, experience that informs her close attention to voice and the information readers assume a narrator understands.
The Maid gives Molly Gray a precise first-person voice and places her inside a hotel, where workers see private lives while remaining socially invisible. The mystery depends on the difference between Molly's competence and other people's willingness to mistake her directness for ignorance.
Where to start
Start with The Maid, the first Molly the Maid mystery. A hotel maid discovers a guest's body and becomes the most convenient suspect in the investigation.
