Critic Reviews
"With The Maid comes an exciting and formidable new voice. A gripping and heart-warming whodunnit narrated by an intriguing and original heroine. Skillfully layered and masterfully told. I loved it." (Santa Montefiore)
"This is a fabulous debut, deftly written...I loved following Molly the maid’s struggle to make sense of the world and cheered on those who showed her kindness. The Maid is a delight from start to finish." (Jill Mansell)
"Unlike anything else I’ve read, this kept me up way past lights out. The protagonist is completely original and very endearing. Thoroughly recommend." (Katie Fforde)

Enjoyable read
Lovely protagonist and beautifully narrated. The story was a little far fetched at times but all in good fun for the genre and kept me engaged till the end. Would recommend for a light “read”.

Very enjoyable
Molly, whom the story is about, is an unusual girl but it won't be long before you're cheering for this brave girl. I really enjoyed this book. The narrator is good too.

Thank you to the Editor/s who recommended this title.
Great in so many ways - the plot, the characters and the perfect narrator for this story. It was captivating.

So enjoyable
This is as near to perfect as an audiobook can be. It’s so enjoyable I’m surprised it isn’t illegal!
Our main character is likeable, smart and complex. The story is not overly complicated but still very satisfying and it will leave you feeling rewarded for the time you’ve spent with this book. It really is beautifully crafted and paced.
We all know how vital good narration is and it is impeccable. Lauren wonderfully captures the spirit of our lead as well as the other characters and I enjoyed her work so much I’m going to look for other books she has narrated.
You don’t even have to be a fan of murder mysteries to enjoy this story. I’ve listened twice already and it’s going straight into my favourites list.

Not bad but not great either
It was not the best mystery I have read but Molly was a good character that portrayed the difficulty of being different. Overall it was a fine book. But not something I will re-read.

Started well but deteriorated!
A good idea, The Maid started well but became unrealistic and repetitive and deteriorated rapidly.

Interesting till the end
A “page turner”. Interesting characters and plot. Empathy for the protagonist sensitively related. I very much enjoyed this mystery.
