It begins like any other day for Molly Gray, silently dusting her way through the luxury rooms at the Regency Grand Hotel.

But when she enters suite 401 and discovers an infamous guest dead in his bed, a very messy mystery begins to unfold. And Molly’s at the heart of it – because if anyone can uncover the secrets beneath the surface, the fingerprints amongst the filth – it’s the maid . . .

Tolle Geschichte, einzigartig. Wunderbar vorgetragen. Erstaunlich und trotz Krimi total unaggresiv. Ich hab es geliebt. Schade dass es zu ende ist.

Einfach himmlisch

Old school, in an unexpected way. Slow paced yet a lot of information to take in. The main protagonist’s constant thought process is a pleasure to follow. Nicely done.

Excellent!

It is read pretty well and the idea of a meticulous maid being the center figure in a crime story is compelling. However, while the weird and special traits make her different and interesting, it becomes a bit tiring how slowly she is processing the most standard information and circumstances. I found myself checking out of the slowly paced and mostly uneventful story

Interesting concept but overall rather lame

Linear storyline with shallow characters and little depth. Focus was put on implying that the main character could be on the Autism Spectrum but that’s not all to a person who in effect is much more complex than that. It’s a shame, as there was a lot of potential here to create something intriguing, that simply wasn’t explored to the full.

Mediocre at best!

Simple story and uninteresting characters. No surprises or big twists and the only part worth mentioning is that the main character (maybe) is in the spectrum.

The narration is not bad, but the granny parts are tiresome (not a fault of the narrator) and I found disappointing that she never learnt how to pronounce Juan Manuel. C’mon, it’s a main character.
