After several modest-selling historical books, Hilton hits the jackpot with this tale of a pretty and ambitious London gallery assistant of modest means who wants a fast-track to the good things in life. Our 20-something heroine Judith Rashleighs a whip-smart femme fatale in a post-Kardashian world, whose humble origins sharpen her criminal resolve -no more tights drying over the heater for her -and her journey to wealth and power involves lots of sex and shopping for designer dresses. Less thriller than subversive post-feminist social satire, it has the blunt candour of Hilton herself-a 40-something solo mother whose experience as an intern at Christies clearly informs Maestra. Judiths catch-a-billionaire-will-travel goals upset some of the Literary Sisterhood but Maestra s bonk -buster reputation disguises a razor-sharp novel on class and power. * New Zealand Herald *The Becky Sharp-style trajectory of the narrator proceeds with great momentum as she gets her psychopathic revenge on the snobs of the old master art world * The Week * Promotional A shockingly original thriller Long Description A shockingly original thriller THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER GLAMOURS WRITER OF THE YEAR.
