Evening Book Club

This month the Book Club will be discussing The Maid by Nita Prose.

Molly Gray is a hotel maid whom few hotel guests acknowledge or really even see. That’s fine with Molly because what’s most important to her is to be an excellent maid. But she is extremely naïve and socially awkward. Abandoned by her parents as a baby, she was raised by her wise and gentle grandmother. Gran wanted Molly to become more than just a hotel maid, but that didn't happen, and the job suits her perfectly. She doesn’t socialize much, especially after her Gran dies, but she does have a handful of friends at the hotel: bartender Rodney, dishwasher Juan Manuel, and the doorman, Mr. Preston. Normally, Molly follows the hotel rule that maids should not befriend hotel guests, but in the case of Giselle Black, the much-younger wife of an abusive business tycoon, she makes an exception. Then she finds Giselle’s husband dead in his suite one day and is accused of his murder. Happily, there’s more to Molly than meets the eye. She’s rescued in a most unexpected way that’s partly down to her own plucky ingenuity. Captivating, charming, and heart-warming, with deft writing and a clever, original plot, this unusual crime novel will leave readers with a warm glow.

Newcomers are welcome to attend the book club. No registration is necessary and you may attend as many or as few meetings as you like.  The group is moderated by a librarian. Copies of the book are available upon request at the front desk starting one month before the meeting.
