I enjoyed this book quite a bit. I know some said it was inconsistent, but I find that, as a neurodivergent person, I can see how her seemingly very shifting rules don't shift as much as they seem to do to some people. I know that certain rules in my mind are different than how a "normal" person may have their rules. And once you get to the end it all makes sense, at least to me.
I didn't guess the killer, though I guess another one of the "plot twists" (the one with her grandmother.)
Narrator Rating: 3.5 stars
She did a decent job but for most of the book she had kind of pout to her voice which was childlike and annoying for a 20-something woman.

This book has nothing to do with the Netflix series 🙈 it turned out to be so much up my alley and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Molly is a maid at the Regency Grand and I think a good way to describe her character is Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory. She was raised by her grandmother and is very trusting of everyone and takes them at their word.
Molly ends up being framed for murder and her friends help her figure out what’s gone on after she’s been arrested.
I flew through this book in a couple of sittings.
Have you made an error picking up a book with a similar title you thought was another before? Luckily for me, this was totally up my alley and a great mistake on my part.
Thank you to Netgalley, the author and Penguin Random House Canada for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.
