The Maid author Sara Cohen got tired of being secretive

The author of the best-selling thriller "The Maid" is Sara Cohen, a doctor. She told USA Today she chose to write under a pseudonym to avoid conflicts with her medical practice.

"My goal was to keep it a secret until I retired from medical practice," she says, explaining that she did not want her colleagues to know and look down on her efforts as a doctor.

However, she stopped working full-time in 2023 and is now tired of the debate about whether Freida McFadden is "one real person or three men," she explains.

Sara Cohen, however, retains her author pseudonym and in the picture in USA Today, she is also wearing a wig. According to her, this is because she does not know how to style her hair.
