From this second installment, I can see that this maid is gonna go from house to house cracking murder cases! And I’m here for it. Another enjoyable and easy to listen to story. Same weird audio artifacts from the synthesized voice. But it’s still a fun listen while doing chores around the house.
I enjoyed this second adventure with the maid as the main character. The main and supporting characters are interesting, the house has lots of secret passages and everyone has a secret of their own, some more dangerous than others, and the premise is finding out who killed another maid and why. Lots of action, suspense, and red herrings thrown everywhere. I definitely recommend this book.
