Molly the Maid loves order, perfection, and cleanliness. Although it's not explicitly addressed in the book, she is certainly neurotypical and often has a difficult time understanding body language, social cues, and sarcasm. 

One day while cleaning a hotel room she discovers Mr. Black, a rich real estate tycoon, dead in his bed. 

Needless to say, a wrench is thrown into Molly's mundane life. She must learn to use her best judgments and cope with a new situation. 

Just like Molly, I love order and nothing makes me happier than a clean space. I'm not as regimented or thorough as she is, but I can relate. My OCPD appreciates Molly the Maid. This is a funny yet solid mystery story. "Dust we must."
