    Item arrived as stated in used but good condition. It was a great price for used. A new copy would have cost a lot more. It was shipped out fast and arrived in secure envelope. Seller did a great job with this entire transaction. I’m very happy with seller and would order from them again. Thank you seller, great job. A+. JL

    There was a mixup during packaging where a paperback copy was picked and shipped for a hard cover copy that was ordered. I asked the seller about it and they honestly replied that the mistake was on their end. A full refund for the item was sent immediately and I will not hesitate to order more from ZBK. Very responsive and they stand behind their items and make good on any issues.

    Don't miss this one! Superb!

    Totally unique, entertaining, and keeps you guessing until the end! Love the protagonist, Molly the Maid. Love her attitude towards her job - she thinks it is the best job in the world. Great author who doesn't need to use the f-word throughout like other authors (so offensive!). Thank you Nita Prose for a delightful book!

  • Great Mystery Novel!

    The Maid was a great mystery novel!. It's one I intend to keep rather than getting rid of now that I have read it.

  • More than just a maid!

    Yes she’s on the spectrum. But she’s learning as she goes. A compelling story written in her mindset. A must read. Great story and ending!
