Beloved Molly the Maid is back, with a new 'Secret'

2 months ago | thebrunswicknews.com | Laura McCallum

While on vacation a few years ago, I enjoyed listening to the audiobook of "The Maid," first in the Molly the Maid series. The book sold more than a million copies worldwide, earned a couple of mystery awards and led to a movie slated for release next year, starring Florence Pugh as the protagonist, so I'm not alone. But reading the latest in the series, "The Maid's Secret," with an eye toward reviewing is a very different experience than a fun travel listen. Don't get me wrong.

Older people on Reddit were asked: "What are some 'early warning signs' of trouble that younger folks may not know about?" These are some of the best answers. 2/32 Girls, if you have sex with a guy for the first time and fake it, it will never ever change. 3/32 Never, ever, in a fight with your S/O, EVER use something they've told you in confidence OR their biggest vulnerability against them in a fight. EVER. It is a nuke. It can not be undone.

When I was asked to review “True Believer,” my first reaction was: “But I just read another Hubert H. Humphrey book.” Samuel Freedman’s excellent “Into the Bright Sunshine” should be required reading for anyone who wants to understand Minneapolis’ history of racism and antisemitism (among other reasons). But James Traub’s “True Believer” has a broader focus. Freedman’s book details Humphrey’s life from childhood through the 1948 Democratic National Convention speech that put HHH on the map.
