Summary
¿HASTA DÓNDE SERÍAS CAPAZ DE LLEGAR PARA TENER LA VIDA QUE SIEMPRE DESEASTE？
Florence Darrow es una empleada de una editorial que cree estar destinada a ser una célebre escritora。 Cuando le llueve un puesto como ayudante de la brillante y enigmática novelista Maud Dixon， cuya verdadera identidad es secreta， parece que los hados por fin le sonríen。
El arreglo es perfecto。 Maud Dixon， en realidad Helen Wilcox， puede ser quisquillosa， pero rebosa una mordaz sabiduría， no solo literaria， sino también existencial。 Florence cae de inmediato bajo su hechizo y la acompaña entusiasmada a Marruecos， donde tiene lugar la nueva novela de la autora。 Perdida en las pintorescas calles de Marrakech y en las ventosas playas cercanas， su vida es al fin lo bastante interesante como para inspirarle una obra propia。 Pero， cuando Florence despierta en un hospital después de un terrible accidente de tráfico， sin recuerdo alguno de la noche anterior ni rastro de Helen， se ve tentada de tomar un atajo。 En vez de vivir a la sombra de la autora， ¿por qué no adoptar su vida。。。 y su popular pseudónimo literario？
¿Quién es Maud Dixon？， tenso， retorcido y entretenidísimo， es un refinado thriller psicológico sobre las maldades de que uno es capaz por llevar la vida que siempre quiso。

chillsThe writing is great with lots of twists and turns in the story！ The psychotic evil of the characters is chilling！

It is an easy-to-read book with short chapters that kept my interest from the very beginning to the very end。 I thought the book had too many casually written advertisements in it and in my opinion， there were a couple of errors。 I didn't find it realistic that Florence had writer's block， yet she was able to stay up until 3 am to complete a novel that she would be proud to be published。 I didn't find it realistic that the police officer didn't ask Miss Wilcox what her friend's name was at the r It is an easy-to-read book with short chapters that kept my interest from the very beginning to the very end。 I thought the book had too many casually written advertisements in it and in my opinion， there were a couple of errors。 I didn't find it realistic that Florence had writer's block， yet she was able to stay up until 3 am to complete a novel that she would be proud to be published。 I didn't find it realistic that the police officer didn't ask Miss Wilcox what her friend's name was at the restaurant。In my opinion， the book had a big editing error。 "Helen had inundated her with so much research that she hadn't gotten around to it。" This is contradictory to the fact that Florence had asked Helen if she wanted her to do some research and Helen said no， she just wanted a feel for things。"It made no sense to me why Florence sent a resignation email on the behalf of Helen。Some of my favorite quotes:"Her fair skin flushed easily， whether with shyness or fervor was never quite clear as if her creator had been torn between the competing impulses of purity and perversion。""For God's sake， you can't have all the f。。。ing cookies， and then come take our crumbs too！""This isn't about whatever absurd scorecard you keep in your back pocket， Amanda。""Every one of them probably had half a novel tucked away in some drawer。 But you don't go around calling yourself a writer until it is out of the drawer。""The words dribbled from his mouth like soup。""You shouldn't have to try to like things， Florence insisted。 It's like people that force themselves to finish a book they're not enjoying。 Just close it， go find another story。""That women's moral compass is in dire need of some WD-40。""She had a face you wanted to look at for a long time。""I think it was Hitler's mother's name。""There is a crucial difference between a loss and a lack。""You don't throw away a winning lottery ticket just because it gets a little dirty in your wallet。""Pigeon hearts" （tomatoes）"There is real power in being an outsider， you see things more clearly。""I deplore moderation。""Half measures won't get you anywhere。""She tried to remember her dreams but they faded away like fish。""Their conning had the aggressively cooing tone of a nursery rhyme in a horror movie。"Florence put her hands over her face。 She stayed like that for several minutes until she realized that what she was doing was a type of performance and that she had no audience。""In fact Florence loved books。 The smell of the binding， the roughness of the pages。 But they were nothing compared to the magnitude of what was inside them。""This is why I don't like talking on the f。。。ing phone！""Your alibi was your ignorance。""She'd found the freedom and confidence to just write and she finally had a story to tell。" 。。。more

Een leuk boek om lekker weg te lezen。de eerste paar hoofdstukken vond ik het wat moeilijk en traag geschreven， ik had moeite met mijn hoofd erbij te houden。 Later werd dat gelukkig beter en ging het lezen ook een stuk vlotter。 Wel vond ik het verhaal niet heel verrassend， het zat goed in elkaar en las vlot weg maar vond de aanwijzingen soms iets te voor de hand liggen。 De laatste hoofdstukken wist me dan wel weer echt te verrassen （Had stiekem wel nog een andere plottwist verwacht， maar die blee Een leuk boek om lekker weg te lezen。de eerste paar hoofdstukken vond ik het wat moeilijk en traag geschreven， ik had moeite met mijn hoofd erbij te houden。 Later werd dat gelukkig beter en ging het lezen ook een stuk vlotter。 Wel vond ik het verhaal niet heel verrassend， het zat goed in elkaar en las vlot weg maar vond de aanwijzingen soms iets te voor de hand liggen。 De laatste hoofdstukken wist me dan wel weer echt te verrassen （Had stiekem wel nog een andere plottwist verwacht， maar die bleef uit。）。Als je dit boek nog wilt lezen， klik dan niet op onderstaande spoiler aangezien ik hier het einde uit leg。（view spoiler）[Helen neemt Florence mee naar Marokko om haar daar te vermoorden en op te laten draaien voor de moord die Helen eerder heeft gepleegd。 Helen wil dan de identiteit van Florence overnemen envervolgens een boek schrijven over de moord onder haar pseudoniem Maud Dixon。 Florence weet Helen te vermoorden en vermoord ook de literair agent van Helen om zo zonder problemen zelf te kunnen schrijven als Maud Dixon。 （hide spoiler）] 。。。more

I really enjoyed this story！ Such a quick read and I could hardly put the book down。 Twist and turns all the way up to the end。

This is really a round-up from about 3。6 or 3。7 on my scale。 It kept me reading but there isn't a single really likeable character whom I really wanted to root for in this story。 The protagonist， Florence， is just almost as bad as her nemesis， Helen。 Nonetheless， it's full of intrigue and plot twists that are fun if （sometimes） somewhat predictable。 It's a good "airplane read。" This is really a round-up from about 3。6 or 3。7 on my scale。 It kept me reading but there isn't a single really likeable character whom I really wanted to root for in this story。 The protagonist， Florence， is just almost as bad as her nemesis， Helen。 Nonetheless， it's full of intrigue and plot twists that are fun if （sometimes） somewhat predictable。 It's a good "airplane read。" 。。。more

This book was a super fun twisty thriller。 You never knew where it would go next， and you were never sure just what the characters were capable of。 No one in this book is very likable， but that didn't matter to me - the ride was super fun， and I even found myself rooting for a character who wasn't necessarily a very good person。 If you like thrillers， this one is very enjoyable。Five words to describe this book: twisty， thriller， entertaining， manipulation， writers This book was a super fun twisty thriller。 You never knew where it would go next， and you were never sure just what the characters were capable of。 No one in this book is very likable， but that didn't matter to me - the ride was super fun， and I even found myself rooting for a character who wasn't necessarily a very good person。 If you like thrillers， this one is very enjoyable。Five words to describe this book: twisty， thriller， entertaining， manipulation， writers 。。。more

This book！ There were several unexpected twists and turns。 I think I'd have been more invested if any of the main characters were more likable。。。but then would have been able to commit the crimes？？ Something to think about！ This book starts slow and builds。 Stick with it。 This book！ There were several unexpected twists and turns。 I think I'd have been more invested if any of the main characters were more likable。。。but then would have been able to commit the crimes？？ Something to think about！ This book starts slow and builds。 Stick with it。 。。。more

Vuoden 2021 lempparikirja！！ Hiukan hitaan alun jälkeen tarina lähti kiinnostavasti liikkeelle ja päähenkilö alkoi kiinnostamaan omituisuutensa takia。 Kirja on trilleri， mutta vauhtia ja vaarallisia tilanteita sai odottaa aika pitkään。 Tämä ei kuitenkaan haitannut yhtään， koska kirjassa oli koko ajan odottava tunnelma - lukiessa aisti sen， että kohta tapahtuu jotain ja lukemista oli vaan pakko jatkaa。 Vaikka osa käänteistä oli arvattavissa， oli kirjassa muutamia juonenkäänteitä， jotka todellakin Vuoden 2021 lempparikirja！！ Hiukan hitaan alun jälkeen tarina lähti kiinnostavasti liikkeelle ja päähenkilö alkoi kiinnostamaan omituisuutensa takia。 Kirja on trilleri， mutta vauhtia ja vaarallisia tilanteita sai odottaa aika pitkään。 Tämä ei kuitenkaan haitannut yhtään， koska kirjassa oli koko ajan odottava tunnelma - lukiessa aisti sen， että kohta tapahtuu jotain ja lukemista oli vaan pakko jatkaa。 Vaikka osa käänteistä oli arvattavissa， oli kirjassa muutamia juonenkäänteitä， jotka todellakin yllätti。 Kuka on Maud Dixon？ on tosi erilainen trilleri kuin mitä yleensä luen ja yllätyin että tykkäsin tästä näin paljon。 Pidin paljon myös Alexandra Andrewsin kirjoitustyylistä， sanoilla leikittelystä ja yksityiskohtaisesta kuvailusta。 Voisin kuvitella， että tämä kirja uppoaa sekä niihin， jotka lukevat paljon trillereitä， että niihin jotka eivät välttämättä normaalisti lue rikoskirjallisuutta。 Ahhh， ehdottomasti viisi tähteä！！！ 。。。more

A plot full of twists at the end but the pacing was inconsistent。 The characters were not at all appealing， which made it harder to love。

I get anxious when the protagonist acts badly and this happens a lot in Who Is Maud Dixon。 It’s suspenseful， but not in a way that I can tolerate。 I was about to skip to the end and then my dread turned into eye rolls， as the plot became more convoluted。 A good first novel; a great premise; but a muddled ending。

I really enjoyed this debut mystery novel。 I was able to figure out where one of the main "twists" was going which is unusual for me。 But that didn't diminish my enjoyment of the novel。 I could say more but don't want to venture into spoiler territory。 It was a very fast read， which we always love。 Will definitely read from this author again in the future。 I really enjoyed this debut mystery novel。 I was able to figure out where one of the main "twists" was going which is unusual for me。 But that didn't diminish my enjoyment of the novel。 I could say more but don't want to venture into spoiler territory。 It was a very fast read， which we always love。 Will definitely read from this author again in the future。 。。。more

At the recommendation of Ann Patchett， I bought this book from Parnassus Books。 This book was a satisfying and easy read， perfect to finish in two weekends of readings。 Had I not suffered from "I have too much to do to sit and read all day I could have finished it one weekend-that's how much it kept my attention。 It's a mystery with enough twists to keep you going hmmm and I was thinking about halfway through， I see what Florence wants to do here。 My intuition proved correct as Florence takes on At the recommendation of Ann Patchett， I bought this book from Parnassus Books。 This book was a satisfying and easy read， perfect to finish in two weekends of readings。 Had I not suffered from "I have too much to do to sit and read all day I could have finished it one weekend-that's how much it kept my attention。 It's a mystery with enough twists to keep you going hmmm and I was thinking about halfway through， I see what Florence wants to do here。 My intuition proved correct as Florence takes on the identity of Helen Wilcox and her pen name Maud Dixon--but for a short amount of time as Helen returns to visit Florence in a terrifying episode in Morocco。 I'll leave the ending for all to enjoy。 The book gives out a shout out to Toledo as the hometown of one of the minor characters， which often leaves me wondering how the author decided on Toledo？ Perhaps I'll email her ask。 。。。more

Well this one caught me by surprise and was not on my radar at all。 I really enjoyed it。 It was very current on pop culture and trends and was easy to follow。 It for sure is not full of morals and values but full of entertainment。 I’m glad I took a chance on this one。

Wow， wow， wow！ This book blew me away。 It was a quick read which I simply could not put down。 This about sums it up nicely without spoiling it for anyone who has not read it "Lillian had made a crucial mistake。 She had used herself as bait， not realizing that Iris was too famished to be sated by mere proximity to greatness"。 Wow， wow， wow！ This book blew me away。 It was a quick read which I simply could not put down。 This about sums it up nicely without spoiling it for anyone who has not read it "Lillian had made a crucial mistake。 She had used herself as bait， not realizing that Iris was too famished to be sated by mere proximity to greatness"。 。。。more

I finished it fast。 But， it was formulaic and annoying。 There was a twist that I wasn’t expecting but then I was just disappointed in the end。
