Greenwich Park by Katherine Faulkner

---

This novel centers around Helen, a pregnant woman who befriends Rebecca at a prenatal class. While initially pleased to make a friend (it doesn’t appear that she has very many), soon Helen becomes both wary and drawn to her in equal measure. Rebecca seems to show up often and randomly. Her erratic behavior implies that their meeting may not have been random after all. The story is told in different points of view but primarily through Helen. While Helen is gullible, needy, and potentially unreliable as a narrator, she is likeable and I found myself rooting for her.

This thriller will draw you in and won’t let you go. The novel keeps you guessing about who is telling the truth and who is deceiving. The story unfolds in conjunction with Helen’s weeks of pregnancy. Spliced in with the story are flashbacks ten years prior and a few enigmatic conversations. The plot builds continuously and becomes very twisty in the second half. The story is so compelling it made me impatient to find out exactly what was happening. It is a true page-turner and you won’t want to put it down!

I loved everything about this well-written debut thriller. Katherine Faulkner is one to watch!
