Описание: A charmingly eccentric hotel maid discovers a guest murdered in his bed. Solving the mystery will turn her once orderly world upside down in this utterly original debut.

Molly Gray is not like everyone else. She struggles with social skills and misinterprets the intentions of others. Her gran used to interpret the world for her, codifying it into simple rules that Molly could live by.

Since Gran died a few months ago, twenty-five-year-old Molly has had to navigate 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. She delights in donning her crisp uniform each morning, stocking her cart with miniature soaps and bottles, and returning guest rooms at the Regency Grand Hotel to a state of perfection.

But Molly's orderly life is turned on its head 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 very 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?

A Clue-like, locked-room mystery and a heartwarming journey of the spirit, The Maid explores what it means to be the same as everyone else and yet entirely different--and reveals that all mysteries can be solved through connection to the human heart.

Описание: "Happiness Was My Butterfly" came after a lifetime of writing short stories and poetry. When the time came for a novel it blossomed so quickly. I grasped every word as if it came to life. Since it was my first adventure of writing a book I thought it best to obtain several opinions. I received feedback from both male and females of all ages, and a seventeen year-old. After she finished it she came back and said "I didn't want it to end, and I read the whole thing straight through, because I couldn't put it down." Since then everyone who has read it said the same thing. The last person I offered it to was a stock broker friend of mine who didn't like to read novels. But I left it with him anyway. The next morning at 8:00 am he called and said ..". I was up all night and I couldn't put it down ... I had to finish reading it because I always love a good mystery." I felt I couldn't get any better opinions, for I had been delighted with their responses. I was born and raised in the South and the book is centered around that area in 1935. It is full of mystery and comedy, and to coin a phrase from a delightful movie star, Gregory Peck, when he read "To Kill A Mockingbird." He said "he loved it because it took him back to his childhood." I can't think of a better invitation for you to try my book, for I truly believe you will like it too.

Описание:

Nita Kumar offers an evocative and sensitive portrayal of rarely explored aspects of Hindu culture through her analysis of the way leisure time is used by Hindu and Muslim artisans of Banaras--the weavers, metalworkers, and woodworkers. Music, festivals, the place of physical culture, and the importance of going to the outer side all are examined as Kumar looks at changes that have occurred in leisure-time activities over the last century. The discussion raises questions of the cultural and conceptual aspects of working-class life, the role of fun and play in Indian thought, the importance of public activities in terms of personal identity, and the meaning of an Indian city to its residents. This analysis turns away from the usual models of Hindu-Muslim conflict by seeing divisions based on occupation, income level, education, and urban neighborhood as more relevant for the construction of identity than those based on religion or community. Kumar draws her information from police station records, Hindi newspapers and periodicals, publications of local individuals and organizations, oral history, and ethnographic data.
