Greenwich Park is a dark thriller from a debut author, Katherine Faulkner, that will have you turning the pages in anticipation of how the story all comes together. 

The novel centres around pregnant Helen, her husband Daniel, Helen’s brother Rory and his wife Serena, as well as their friend Katie. The story unfolds in alternating chapters from each female character’s point of view, which makes for a riveting progression of events. 

In the beginning of Greenwich Park, Helen makes a new friend, Rachel, when at her first birthing class. Rachel is somewhat mysterious, rebellious, and has an uncanny way of showing up around Helen outside of class. They become friends, however, there’s a quality to Rachel that starts to arouse an uncomfortable suspicion in Helen that there’s more to her. 

The story becomes more intriguing and heart pounding as the chapters go by with the unreliable characters ratcheting up the tension. It is twisty and the story does wrap up in the end with no loose ends which is very satisfying for the reader.

If you are looking for a solid thriller that will make you catch your breath, I would recommend Greenwich Park. 

Thank you to Simon & Schuster Canada for the advance reading copy in exchange for my honest review.
