Who is Maud Dixon?

The characters’ identities are so intertwined with deception that I wondered how much of their true selves remains. Did this make the story more unsettling or intriguing for others?

The pacing kept me on edge, but I’m curious whether the narrative was planned this way from the start or if it evolved during writing. It really adds to the suspense.

The setting felt vividly real, but also like a playground for manipulation. Did others find the art scene depicted here authentic or exaggerated?
