What We Read: We look for books that give us a lot to talk about! Mysteries, thrillers, true crime, and books with lots of twists and turns are ideal. Please see the bottom of this page for a list of previously discussed titles.

The Maid by Nita Prose
We are meeting at:
Three Blind Mice Irish Pub
101 N Main St
Mt Clemens, MI 48043
Book Description:
Since Gran died a few months ago, twenty-five-year-old Molly has been navigating life’s complexities all by herself. No matter—she throws herself with gusto into her work as a hotel maid. Her unique character, along with her obsessive love of cleaning and proper etiquette, make her an ideal fit for the job. But Molly’s orderly life is upended the day she enters the suite of the infamous and wealthy Charles Black, only to find it in a state of disarray and Mr. Black himself dead in his bed. Before she knows what’s happening, Molly’s unusual demeanor has the police targeting her as their lead suspect. She quickly finds herself caught in a web of deception, one she has no idea how to untangle. Fortunately for Molly, friends she never knew she had unite with her in a search for clues to what really happened to Mr. Black—but will they be able to find the real killer before it’s too late?
