Alexandra Andrews is the author of Who is Maude Dixon, a delightfully twisty new mystery that has been described as heir to Patricia Highsmighth’s legacy (think Strangers on a Train or The Talented Mr. Ripley). It's the story of a young woman who works in publishing, is disillusioned with her prospects, and suddenly finds herself as the assistant for an Elene Ferrante-like novelists. Suddenly, the two of them are caught up in an international mystery complete with mistaken identities, cliffside car crashes, and foreign investigators that may or may not be bribable. It's a great time between two covers.
So join David as he chats with Alexandra about the books she loves the most, the titles that inspired her to become a writer.
