Helen's life seems quite idyllic. She is married to her brother's architecture partner; lives in the large Victorian home in which she grew up; and is finally pregnant after years of trying. However, Helen is also quite lonely and so she is a bit fascinated by the odd single mother who shows up for the same prenatal class. Rachel smokes, drinks, and seems to have endless supplies of money. As Rachel insulates herself into Helen's life, Helen's family begins to realize that there is more to her motives than Helen knows. As events unfold, Helen comes to learn that no one in her life is who they appear to be and that Greenwich Park holds more secrets than she ever imagined.
A fast-paced thriller, debut writer Ms. Faulkner weaved a story that is engaging and kept me guessing. The ending wrapped up nicely, but didn't feel forced or twisted. I definitely recommend this one.

I really love Katherine’s work! This novel was a great thriller, however ultimately not memorable among the sea of thrillers out there.
More twists and turns than I expected, and I didn’t see the ending. I would recommend the book and I would read this author again
Predictable storyline with a long build up. I enjoyed the narrator but there wasn’t a likable character in the bunch. Just when things got interesting it ended.

Best domestic suspense I have read in years. Twisty, turny: I can’t see any plot holes. Exactly what many of them strive to be.
*Loved the audio narration. Can imagine it’s just as good in print too.

A carefully plotted thriller that gradually reveals its secrets.
Helen, Rory and Charlie are the children of a well known architect who died when his wife deliberately drove their car into a central reservation.
Helen, who now lives in her parents home with her partner, is expecting a child and at antenatal classes she meets Rachel who makes a point of befriending her. One night Rachel turns up unexpected on her doorstep claiming she’s been assaulted, Helen allows her to stay at her home although Helen doesn’t know the details of the assault.
Why does Rachel want to get close to Helen and has she previously met her brothers Rory and Charlie? I shan’t introduce any spoilers but needless to say there is much misinformation and misdirection before the final reveal.
