Florence Darrow couldn’t wait to escape her Florida home and her overbearing mother; after college she moved to New York City, certain she’d become a famous writer. But when no success materialized, she decided her best bet was a job in publishing.
Somehow she stumbles into an opportunity to be the assistant to Maud Dixon, a best-selling author whose debut thriller captivated readers worldwide. Florence will be only the second person to know whom Maud really is—the reclusive author has kept her identity a complete secret.
Working for Maud (whose real name is Helen Wilcox) opens Florence’s eyes to the life she could have one day. Helen is difficult at times but she’s an unending source of advice and inspiration. She asks Florence to accompany her on a research trip to Morocco so she can finally finish her second book.
When Florence wakes up in the hospital in Morocco after a car accident, she has no memory of what happened. And when Helen fails to materialize, Florence figures she must have died in the accident. But since no body was found, Florence decides her best bet is to pretend to be Helen—and more importantly, Maud Dixon.
This book started slowly but once Florence began working for Helen, it picked up momentum and whoa! There were lots of twists and turns and while some things weren’t completely surprising, Who Is Maud Dixon? definitely kept me guessing.
When you need to read a thriller in one sitting, you know it’s a good one. There really was a lot to like about this—and it sure would make a great movie!
