What this book is about

Nita Prose's cozy mystery follows Molly the Maid, a young woman with an unusually literal and rule-following way of engaging with the world (widely read as autistic representation), who discovers a dead man in a hotel suite. Drawn into the investigation, Molly applies her meticulous attention to detail to solving the crime. The novel is warm, funny, and deeply sympathetic to its unusual protagonist. Clean in content and entirely appropriate for all adult readers.
