Once Upon a Crime -- March 7, 2023

The Once Upon a Crime book club met during March to discuss Who is Maud Dixon by Alexandra Andrews. The plot surrounds Florence Darrow, who is trying to become a writer without much luck. Her fortunes seem to change when she is called by a book agent and asked if she would be interested in being a secretary for an author who writes under the name Maud Dixon. She gladly takes the job, hoping this accomplished author can help her with her own writing, and shortly after finds herself leaving for Morocco with Helen-- Maud Dixon. 

Helen is running from police for a crime she committed years before and needs Florence's help, but Florence has no idea what she's in for. While traveling, they are in a car accident, which results in Florence's hospitalization. While in the hospital, she asks about Helen and learns that she was never found. Florence assumes her identity , as well as her own, until Helen returns. 

The book was well received by most book club members because of the flow and cliff hangers at the ends of the chapters. The many turn of events and surprise ending led to a respectable 3.85 rating from the group.
