Another funny read from Nita Prose, where we see the return of (now) Head Maid Molly Gray when a famous author is killed under her nose at the hotel.

With her usual lack of ability to read visual and social cues, Molly must look back to her childhood when she met this author and his wife.  We find out a little more about Molly's background and upbringing, and of course her love of cleaning, and equal love for a little phrase to go with every cleaning opportunity.

Molly is such a loveable character, and the novel a quick and lighthearted read, but with a deeper message about fitting in, not judging a book by its cover and what happens when we jump to conclusions.
