Greenwich Park
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Description
This "gloriously tangled game of cat and mouse" (Ruth Ware, #1 New York Times bestselling author) explores the anxieties of impending motherhood, unreliable friendship, and the high price of keeping secrets. Perfect for fans of the thrillers by Paula Hawkins and Robyn Harding.
In this "outstanding debut thriller" (Booklist, starred review), Helen's idyllic life—handsome architect husband, gorgeous Victorian house, and cherished baby on the way—begins to change the day she attends her first prenatal class.
There, she meets Rachel, an unpredictable single mother-to-be who doesn't seem very maternal: she smokes, drinks, and professes little interest in parenthood. Still, Helen is drawn to her. Maybe Rachel just needs a friend. And to be honest, Helen's a bit lonely herself. At least Rachel is fun to be with. She makes Helen laugh, invites her confidences, and distracts her from her fears.
But her increasingly erratic behavior is unsettling. And Helen's not the only one who's noticed. Her friends and family begin to suspect that her strange new friend may be linked to their shared history in unexpected ways. When Rachel threatens to expose a past crime that could destroy all of their lives, it becomes clear that there are more than a few secrets laying beneath the broad-leaved trees and warm lamplight of Greenwich Park.

Helen, the principal narrator of British journalist Faulkner’s well-paced debut, feels insecure among a circle of Cambridge University graduates that includes her architect husband, Daniel; Helen’s brother, Rory, who’s also Daniel’s business partner; Rory’s elegant wife, Serena; and Katie, an intrepid reporter. Helen’s belief that she’s not as glamorous or talented as the rest of her family and friends has been exacerbated by her being forced to take medical leave from her unrewarding office job to manage a high-risk pregnancy. When Daniel is too busy at work to join her at their prenatal class, Helen forges an unlikely friendship with another expectant mother, Rachel, who seems determined to break every prenatal rule in the book—and encourages Helen to do the same. Several supposed coincidental meetings allow Rachel to insinuate herself into Helen’s life, culminating in Rachel’s moving in with Helen and Daniel. When a court case Katie is covering suggests that Rachel isn’t who she seems to be, violence and tragedy ensue. Faulkner ratchets up the tension throughout with clever narrative shifts. Domestic thriller fans should take a look. Agent: Madeleine Milburn, Madeleine Milburn Ltd. (U.K.).

Faulkner's debut novel is a psychological thriller weaving together longtime friends, family, and a new dysfunctional friendship. The story focuses on three siblings and their partners: Helen, who is married to Daniel; Helen's brothers Charlie and Rory (married to Serena); and Katie (dating Charlie). Told from three points of view--Helen, Katie, and Serena--this character-driven tale centers on Helen and her new friend Rachel, a single pregnant woman she meets in a prenatal class. The secrets, twists, and lies make up for the slow pacing, and the plot is solid and the mystery well done. Laura Kirman's smooth and masterful narration supports the suspenseful atmosphere of the tale. VERDICT Fans of Lisa Jewell, Ruth Ware, or twisty domestic thrillers in general will enjoy this story.--Denise Garofalo
