#44 - The Maid by Nita Prose (with Raye of Not Before Coffee! a Bookish Podcast)

Tune in as Arthur teams up with Raye (Not Before Coffee! a Bookish Podcast) to discuss The Maid, the murder mystery novel that longtime editor and debut author Nita Prose just published on Jan. 4, 2022. It follows 25-year-old hotel maid Molly Gray as she finds business mogul and one of her workplace’s most loyal guests Mr. Black dead in his room, then gets wrapped up in the ensuing investigation. The question of whether or not Prose intentionally coded Molly as neurodivergent, the difference between cream tea and tea with cream, and a debate over the inclusion of trigger warnings in books are just a few of the talking points that the hosts add to the conversation. Spoilers start at 29:30 Good Word: • Raye: Circe by Madeline Miller • Arthur: The Chronicles of Narnia film trilogy, particularly The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe; and Prince Caspian Reach out at [email protected] if you want to recommend things to watch and read, share anecdotes, or just say hello!
