THE MAID

Narrator Lauren Ambrose performs this creatively crafted mystery featuring 25-year-old Molly Gray, a maid at the Regency Grand Hotel, who, while cleaning the suite, finds a dead body. It’s Charles Black, whose wealth, infamy, and nasty personality precede him. The police think Molly killed Black since all the clues point to her. Ambrose’s narration is “perfection,”as Molly herself would say. The story is told by Molly, who loves being a maid, is verbally precise, lacks social skills, has a tendency to be obsessive, and is rather naïve. Ambrose also projects a range of emotions to portray the personalities of Molly’s friends and those who manipulate her. Molly must save herself by solving the murder—but can she? M.B.K.
