AudioFile Favorites: The Maid by Nita Prose, Read by Lauren Ambrose

Every Monday through Friday, AudioFile’s editors recommend the best in audiobook listening. We keep our daily episodes short and sweet, with audiobook clips to give you a sample of our featured listens.

This week we’re reairing episodes featuring some of our favorite audiobooks we’ve covered on Behind the Mic. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Robin Whitten discuss Nita Prose’s zinger of a mystery, The Maid, with many possible suspects. Narrator Lauren Ambrose performs this creatively crafted mystery featuring Molly, a maid at the Regency Grand Hotel who discovers the body of a regular guest in his suite. Lauren Ambrose is exceptional at capturing this propulsive story, giving listeners a sense of all the details as well as the emotional cues that Molly doesn’t necessarily pick up on. All the clues in this murder point toward Molly — can she save herself by solving the case?
