A Fateful Hotel Stay Led to Nita Prose’s ‘The Maid’

While in London, Nita Prose had an awkward run-in with housekeeping, which days later evolved into the plot of The Girlfriend Book Club’s April 2022 pick, ‘The Maid.’ On her flight home, ‘Molly’s voice came to me, clear and precise,’ so Prose scribbled the prologue of her debut novel on a cocktail napkin. A former special education teacher, she’s witnessed the difficulty of being invisible in plain sight, which explains the authenticity of this Clue-like murder mystery about personal growth (set to be a film with Florence Pugh!).
