Our view
“The Maid” is a cosy murder mystery whose appeal rests almost entirely on its narrator, the maid Molly, and her unusual point of view. It reads quickly, and some readers call it a pleasant surprise. Others find her characterisation a little unsteady and feel no pull towards the sequel. Light and gentle; try it if the premise appeals.
