[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Accidentally read two books with similar titles (and covers!) recently: The Maid (by Nita Prose) and The Housemaid (by Freida McFadden). Both mysteries of a sort, with distinctive narrators (the maids), and I didn't like either one. Two stars.[/quote]
I thought [b]The Maid was offensive to neurodivergent people and far fetched as a crime story[/b].

Like the police just go “must be the killer, let’s take them in” without any real investigation?

I can’t believe they gave it a second book. [/quote]

Yes and many people rave about the first book. I can't believe it's won awards. [/quote]

Someone is working on a screen adaption with Florence Pugh playing Molly. Let's hope the screenwriters can fix that mess.

It was one of those books that made me go to goodreads and look at the 1 and 2 star reviews just to make sure I wasn't nuts. It was getting so much attention and fanfare, but I felt it was so, so poorly done. [/quote]
