ONE OF THE BEST DEBUT'S I HAVE EVER READ!!!!! WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW!! PHENOMENAL READ!!. Molly the Maid the protagonist is such a wonderful, unique, original character who I love. I really enjoyed living her life through the pages of this fabulous book. She's a little bit naive and slightly odd, but in a really good way, she feels like she is invisible to the world around her and nobody actually sees her because she's only a maid, she talks in an old fashioned way, but that's because she was brought up by her Grandma, who she adores, they have a wonderful relationship and when the unthinkable happens Molly is left to navigate the world on her own. Molly adores her job and she is a such a perfectionist and everything must be done to her own strict standards, she's very thorough when it comes to cleaning and making everything just perfect. The book has a wonderful cast of characters, the plot is completely gripping and I raced through it. I needed to know who killed Mr Black and trust me it was a surprize when I found out. The ending of chapter twenty five broke me, I had tears rolling down my face, it was so sad but completely unexpected. It truly is a wonderful book and I LOVED IT, LOVED IT, LOVED IT, LOVED IT, LOVED IT, LOVED IT. EVERYBODY NEEDS TO READ THIS PHENOMENAL BOOK, TRUST ME YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED. I would like to thank NetGally and Harper Fiction for the ARC, I really appreciate it.

Not a bad read. The twist at the end is a bit cheap though.
