Whitcoulls recommends Nita Prose and Peter S. Goodman

The Maid by Nita Prose. Molly the maid works at the Regency Grand Hotel. She’s a loner, alone in the world and clearly somewhere on the spectrum but she takes enormous pride in her work. Then one day she finds a guest dead in his bed which starts a whole chain of events which change her life forever. Readers who liked Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine will love this.   Davos Man by Peter S. Goodman. This is fantastic nonfiction about the billionaires who rule the world – and gather every year at Davos in Switzerland for their World Economic Forum. He focuses on five men – all men, these books are always all men – Jeff Bezos, a hedge fund guy, a big league asset manager, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase and another one – and shows with great clarity how they’re all really good at publicly worrying about the state of the world - inequality, poverty, all the usual stuff, speaking really empathetically and sounding almost like one of us, and then doing absolutely everything they can behind the scenes to protect their privilege and position and power – and, of course, their money. It’s full of stories of people, organisations and countries that have been hugely disadvantaged by the hold they have on the world and I thought it was riveting.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
