Featuring a mythological African adventure, spooky Satanic panic, and Tina Fey.
Molly, the neurodivergent narrator of Prose’s sprightly mystery, works at a grand hotel in an unnamed city, and she loves it. She loves the consistency, the rigor, the daily miracle of restoring rooms messed up by guests into “a state of perfection.” This proves most challenging when Molly discovers the corpse of a regular guest, a tycoon whose trophy wife Molly has befriended.
Prose’s novel delivers much of the quirky pleasure of Mark Haddon’sshowing the reader the world of the hotel and the puzzle of the murder through the eyes of someone who doesn’t leap to the usual conclusions. Ambrose’s narration is a small masterpiece, conveying not only the precision of Molly’s personality, but the genuine joy she takes in it, making the character even more lovable than she is on the page.
