# 1 New York Times bestseller
Good Morning America Book Club Pick
Goodreads Choice Award: Winner for Best Mystery & Thriller (2022), Nominee for Best Debut Novel (2022)

Molly Gray is not like everyone else. She struggles with social skills and often misreads people’s intentions. But no matter—she still she throws herself with gusto into her work as a hotel maid at the five-star Regency Grand Hotel. She delights in donning her crisp uniform each morning and returning guest rooms to a state of perfection.

But Molly’s orderly life is upended when she enters the suite of the infamous and wealthy Charles Black, only to find Mr. Black dead—very dead—in his bed. Perplexed by Molly’s unusual behavior, the police immediately suspect her of murder. She’s soon caught in a web of deception with no idea how to untangle herself.

Fortunately for Molly, friends she never knew she had join her in a search for clues about what really happened to Mr. Black—but will they be able to find the real killer before it’s too late?

Note: Registration is required as this meeting of Books and Banter will take place at Post & Beam Brewing (40 Grove St, Peterborough). Post & Beam only serves beer, no other alcoholic beverages, and has a light fare snack menu which can be found on their website (availability is subject to change as they make most everything in house). Sodas are also available for non-drinkers.


How it Works?

Books & Banter meets monthly at 5:30pm. Books will be available at the library circulation desk in mid-October. If you would like an alternative format (large print, audio CD), please let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate your request.

We want to hear from you! Fill out this reader survey to choose the monthly book themes for December and January! https://forms.gle/ZpgjEN7Q4yN5uZro8
