Excellent book. Authentic characters. 7/8 enjoyed the book thoroughly, finding it very well-written and easy to read. Full of surprises. Some members have read the sequel from the library already because they liked it so much. |

Thoroughly enjoyed this easy to read book, and enjoyed the twists and turns that weren't expected. Recommended as an easy enjoyable read. |

A delightful book. A great character study of, yes, possibly a 'neuro divergent' person - one that we, hopefully, will have come to appreciate when we meet a 'Molly' in real life. |

All enjoyed it very much. Different opinions on where the story was set - England or USA. Also what ethnicity Molly and Mr Preston were. A good read. |

'The Maid' was well received, with Molly's characterisation particularly noted, along with the "subjective truth". Interesting ending. |

This book was not overly enjoyed by our bookclub. A weak narrative. Would probably make a better movie. |

Our group found the story to be intriguing, interesting, and challenging. We all enjoyed it, which is reflected in our high score. Lightweight, but fun. |

We all really enjoyed this book. Obvious from the beginning that Molly was neuro-divergent and her actions/thoughts probably not helped by her grandmother and her sayings. A good murder mystery with some twists and turns in relationships of the characters. A very easy read. |

Variation of opinions. Easy to read, with themes making the detective/Agatha Christie style, relevant and thought provoking. Some thought it a bit like other stories. |

Thought the story was good but the character descriptions were lazy, and relied on cliches and generalisations. |

This book had a 100% enjoyment factor for all members. We loved the main character, and her personality traits were recognised by some members. |

About half our group realised that Molly (the maid) was on the autism spectrum, and read the novel in that context. Everyone enjoyed it as a good read, a 'whodunnit', or a murder mystery, and the happy final resolution pleased everyone. |

Thoroughly enjoyed by all readers. Molly the Maid in first person was very thorough in telling her story. Excellent descriptive writing and a great plot. We didn't think it was demeaning to those on the Asperger's spectrum. |
