I'm torn on how to feel about this book. The plot was intriguing and there were some definite twists... just not super exciting I guess?

This book is a wild ride. I don’t typically categorize books as ‘beach reads’ but I think this is the perfect beach read for people that like to read about murders and scheming on the beach!

Overall I enjoyed Who Is Maud Dixon but I can’t say I liked the characters. This was the first book I’ve read recently where there were characters I didn’t like yet it was fueling me to keep reading. I was so invested in finding out what was going in this book.

My biggest critique was the synopsis revealing a fairly big twist. This made me struggle with the pacing of this book. I was waiting for some big dramatic thing to happen and that really messed with the pacing for me.

If you’re looking for a fast-paced page-turner, definitely pick this one up! I think it was a great debut for Alexandra Andrews and I’m excited to see what she releases next!
