The author's meticulous attention to detail in describing the daily struggles, dreams, and aspirations of maids breathes life into these characters, making them relatable and unforgettable.

White's prose is poetic and evocative, effortlessly painting vivid images of both the opulent household and the grim realities of maid life. The author's command over language imbues the story with a captivating atmosphere, transporting readers into the maids' world and making it impossible to put the book down.
Moreover, the characters in "The Maid's Diary" are multi-dimensional and flawed, making them feel authentic and human. Kit, in particular, is a remarkable protagonist whose strength, resilience, and determination inspire and resonate. Her journey is not only a quest for truth but also a personal voyage of self-discovery, and witnessing her growth throughout the book was truly rewarding.
Overall, "The Maid's Diary" is an exceptional novel that weaves together intriguing mystery, social commentary, and unforgettable characters.

Killer twists and turns to boot
The Maid’s Diary reminded me of the movie "Promising Young Woman" in all the best, twistiest of ways. Kit is a maid with a tried-and-true snooping problem in the houses she cleans. She documents, investigates, and analyzes her findings like nobody’s business until she gets wrapped up in more danger than could’ve ever been anticipated. A danger of the life or death variety with everything precariously on the line and in balance. Two of Kit’s clients, Daisy, a pregnant, wealthy lady with connections in high places, and her husband, Jon, a former Olympic skier, have secrets to hide at a killer price. What lengths will they go to to protect what needs to be kept hidden? Only as the novel unfolds, will we find out. The novel is told through layered, multiple perspectives from past to present and I loved the mystery of the story wholly and completely. I couldn’t tear my eyes away for a second and thought that it was cleverly told with everything revealed at just the right pace. A stellar 5/5!
