I may have enjoyed Greenwich Park by Katherine Faulkner but I LOVED The Other Mothers! The covers of the two novels are very similar like they could be related, but they are not, and I have to say that for me both were very eye-catching and what I would consider perfect for each storyline. Tash is very much the outsider new mom looking in on the group of mom friends in this book, but when she starts becoming friends with some of them and then investigating a nanny's death, she gets a lot more than she bargained for. Drama and secrets are my two favorite things in a thriller or mystery, and this book has plenty of both.
The storyline is told both from Tash's viewpoint as well as Sophie's (the dead nanny) in the past and having them alternating at pretty regular intervals was both fantastic and frustrating. Not in a bad way, just in the way that something would happen, and then I would have to wait for CHAPTERS to find out what it was. 🤣 Clever Faulkner, very clever. The audiobook was just as great as you would hope it would be, and Louise Brealey & Dakota Blue Richards were perfect to be the voices of our FMCs. I thought they complimented each other quite nicely and played their parts to a T. Go in blind, and you will thank me later.
Thank you to the publishers and Libro.fm for my complimentary listening and reader copies of this book. All opinions and thoughts are my own.

This book is very compelling and bingeable with short chapters that will have you flying through it. I was disappointed in some of Tash’s decisions, and wasn’t a fan of the twist at the ending.
