Book Synopsis: A charmingly eccentric hotel maid discovers a guest murdered in his bed, turning her once orderly world upside down and inspiring a motley crew of unexpected allies to band together to solve the mystery in this utterly original debut. A Cluelike, locked-room mystery and a heartwarming journey of the spirit, “The Maid” explores what it means to be the same as everyone else and yet entirely different and reveals that all mysteries can be solved through connection to the human heart. http://tinyurl.com/545urrpz
Sinopsis en español: Molly es una joven camarera en un hotel de lujo. Es tímida y torpe en el trato social. Es también aplicada, comprometida, profesional. Una perfeccionista. En su trabajo, mulle almohadones y arregla los desastres que ocasionan los huéspedes, barriendo sus secretos. Es solo una camarera, y nadie repara en ella. Pero un asombroso hallazgo en una de las suites hace que su vida dé un vuelco, y la obliga a convertirse en detective para limpiar su propio nombre, a adentrarse en un mundo que va más allá de lo aparente. http://tinyurl.com/mttbem2h
