Review “Who Is Maud Dixon? has enough twists and turns (really good ones!) to make you dizzy for a week. Dizzy with joy! By the end of the book you’ll start wondering if author Alexandra Andrews might be a murderer herself.” James PattersonOnce the two women land in Morocco, the sinister game of shedding identities begins and Maud and Florence begin tossing their passports back and forth like hot potatoes . . . or hand grenades. Who Is Maud Dixon? turns out to be much more than a question about authorship; indeed, it’s a question fraught with life and death consequences. Andrews’s novel is sharp, unpredictable and enormously entertaining. To say anything more would ruin the fun of reading - and being lightly appalled - by it. Maureen Corrigan, Washington PostFans of psychological thrillers like Patricia Highsmith’s The Talented Mr. Ripley will love Andrews debut novel. . . . the story is full of twists and turns that will leave you hooked. Harlan Coben, TODAY“Dark comedy meets twisty thriller . . . . Couldn’t be more fun.” People magazine“Who Is Maud Dixon? combines a rapid-fire plot with larger questions of authenticity and authorship, creating an edgy and distinct work that is as compelling as the mysterious figure at its center.” Chloe Schama, Vogue“In-jokes about the publishing industry. Check. References to Lydia Davis and Renata Adler. Check. Wicked and ambitious female Ripley-like characters. Check. Andrews’s amusingly mean-spirited thriller ticks off a lot of boxes - so much so that I basically plowed through this unexpected, high-low of a surprise.” Vulture/NY Magazine“The two women at the center of this story are complicated, to say the very least. Full of diabolical twists and turns and lush settings (Morocco, anyone?), this is one of the best thrillers out this year.” Fiona Davis, Good Morning America“In this addition to the list of reasons one should not travel to Morocco with a too-good-to-be-true new acquaintance, the dissatisfied young editorial staffer with lofty literary goals and a penchant for stealing her roommate’s yogurts falls into a dream gig assisting her mysterious favorite writer, Maud Dixon; false identities and murderous hijinks ensue. Vanity FairThe debut novel everyone will be talking about this spring is a twisty, spicy tete-a-tete that pits two very determined women against each other - but in a good way. Entertainment Weekly“Smart, slyly clever debut . . . . Andrews skillfully delves into each woman’s true personality, driving Who Is Maud Dixon? into an incisive look at ambition, greed, identity and celebrity worship. . . . Andrews’ wicked sense of humor and intelligent plotting deliver a briskly paced novel filled with inventive twists reminiscent of “All About Eve,” “Gaslight” and any Patricia Highsmith novel. Who Is Maud Dixon? establishes Andrews as an author to watch.” South Florida Sun-Sentinel“A sparkling debut that will keep you guessing.” New York PostPart Elena Ferrante, part Patricia Highsmith-themed thriller, Who Is Maud Dixon? is set to be one of the buzziest debut novels of the year. Wall Street Journal“A tense, addictive page-turner thatll make readers think twice about heroes, bosses, and other dangerous creatures.” Town & CountryA sparkling debut that will keep you guessing. New York PostDevilishly clever debut . . . At every diabolical twist and turn, Andrews impish sense of humor peeks around the corner to jack up the fun. Terrific characters, vivid settings, and a deliciously dastardly, cunningly constructed plot. Kirkus Reviews (starred review)“Devilishly plotted debut . . . barrel[s] full-speed towards a breathtaking series of Highsmith-style twists and a stunning conclusion. This darkly comic take on contemporary publishing may well leave readers asking, Who is Alexandra Andrews? Publishers Weekly (starred review)Identity theft takes on a new meaning in this fresh and arresting thriller. . . . Andrews’ debut is a page-turning, surprising read
