What starts as petty theft by the maids - and flashbacks to their tumultuous time in a convent - shortly turns into something more nefarious. Fuse the sisters' toxic upbringing, societal class exploitation, and increasingly unhinged abuse by Madame Lancelin and you have the catalyst for a ghastly crime that shocked and fascinated 1930s France and beyond. Maids has everything Katie Skelly fans - as well as fans of comics and true crime - are looking for: high bravura, high intrigue, and murder that combines the best of pop art, manga, and Euro comics.
