This is an absolutely brilliant twisty, turny ride of a book! I didn't care for most of the characters, by the end, I found out why. Awesome storytelling, and pulling everything together (even the littlest things), to tie up the ending perfectly. Kudos! I can't wait to see what is next for this author.
Thank you to netgalley, the publisher and the author for the chance to read this advanced copy.

When Helen strikes up a conversation with Rachel at a prenatal class, she thinks she's met a new friend! How exciting! However, things quickly turn uncomfortable. This book didn't hook me from the start like I expected it to. It definitely took me some time to warm up to it. It's a bit of a slow burn. You're kept in the dark for most of the book (which I didn't love) but it did make it harder to guess everything and put together the pieces. It was dark and definitely has trigger warnings for rape and miscarriage, so read with caution. The ending was so twisty and explosive!

A World War II book, with an orphan train, unlike any other. This one has the twist of the orphan train. Going to Agatha Christie’s house. The book is based on a true story, and has a wonderful authors note at the end! Be sure not to skip that one.

Creepy yet captivating. The thriller wrapped up nicely with all of the readers questions being answered at the end.

Helen's life starts to fall apart when she meets Rachel at her first prenatal class. Helen's husband is out of town and her brother and sister-in-law who are also expecting cancel out on this class at the last minute. When Rachel sits next to her they start talking. Rachel is not your typical pregnant mom, she drinks, she smokes and she won't talk about the father.

I was very intrigued in the beginning. There's Helen's husband Daniel, a partner with her brother in an Architecture firm, Serena her sister-in-law who appears to be standoffish, and then her younger brother Charlie, a DJ along with his sometimes girlfriend, Katie. My problem was I didn't really like any of the characters besides Katie. Helen, the one we should have felt for was a strange one, obviously obsessed with Serena and going through her things.

When Rachel goes missing the police get involved and everyone seems to have a reason to want Rachel gone. It's pretty convoluted how it all gets explained in the end. There re some hints along the way, you certainly know that everyone has secrets. I just wish there was someone I cared about.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

There are so many things I really liked about this book, but it definitely is an investment.

I enjoyed learning about the lifestyle that the characters lead, the parties that they hosted and I thought the contrast between the “good times“ for the characters and their relationships contrasted really well with the strained times and led you to wonder what happened in these relationships that had caused them to appear the way they were. Some of the book gave me a “Dead to Me” vibe, which is one of my favorite TV shows so I definitely have no complaints about that.

The book is on the longer side for a suspense novel of this type I felt and the plot is very slowly unraveled. I did feel like parts of it were quite predictable, I also felt like some of the details at the very end I was left slightly unsatisfied by the explanation. Maybe that was because I had predicted kind of early on what the end of the story would be and was waiting for a bigger twist. The characters who are unlikable are never really redeemed, with perhaps the exception of one. That makes it all too easy to figure out who did it, while the why is it as a firm until the very end, you can still put together enough of the pieces that some of the book feels like you’re kind of just trudging through.


Overall, I enjoyed it. Probably 3 1/2 stars realistically

This started off strong for me and kinda slowed in the middle. Still a good book and I’m glad i read it. Twisty and dark. Thank you!

It took me over a year to read this one for some reason. I read 150 books all while reading this one. I really liked the beginning, two seemingly pregnant women becoming friends, but you have a feeling the one isn't who she says she is. The narrative went a little askew for me when there were too many happenings and revelations from too many points of view. I had to read the ending twice because it seemed like two people were revealing "what really happened", but they claimed things happened differently. That many unhinged people is a little too much chaos for my brain to latch onto and find believable.

As mysteries/ thrillers go, I have a pretty low threshold for nonsense. I read quite a few of them, and I'm typically disappointed. This is a debut thriller, so I approached it with lowered expectations and the hope of finding something redeeming. By the end, I was embarrassingly crawling down from my pedestal of pre-conceived judgement. This is solid---really solid---even for a debut. Early on, it is evident that something is just not quite right---quirky characters and things that don't fully make sense. But the weeks keep rolling by, and the author manages to get you to buy in---to all of it really--and to set your skepticism aside. If you like the mystery/ thriller genre, I think you will enjoy time with this author. Thank you NetGalley and publishers for providing a digital ARC for review.

A rather complicated plot, group of young people did something bad in college that comes back to haunt them ten years later. I was immediately put off by most of the characters, particularly Daniel and Rachel. And I found it disturbing how bad Rachel was as a pregnant woman. I was concerned for the babies. I liked some parts of this story, but not all.

The beautiful cover of this book is what drew me in! I love the cover, very eye-catching! The writing, however, was only okay, in my opinion. The storyline was interesting enough to keep reading but it was slow moving and drug on. I’m not usually very good at figuring out mysteries but I had this book figured out pretty early on. I did enjoy the 3-person point of view this story was told in. Overall, the book turned out alright and was decent for a debut novel, but it definitely could have been 100 pages shorter.

Thank you to NetGalley and Gallery books for an ARC of this book in return for my honest review.

Loved Greenwich Park—right amount of suspense and twists and turns. The characters were multi faceted and details kept emerging as the story unfolded. I read this very quickly because I had to know “who did it.” Can’t wait to read more by this author.

If we’ve learned anything from social media, it’s that nothing is ever quite as it seems. Social media posts are often carefully moderated, highly filtered visions of false perfection. But the same can be true of offline lives, too—and in her debut novel, Greenwich Park, author Katherine Faulkner explores the secrets and lies underneath one family’s seemingly perfect existence...

I really enjoyed this domestic thriller! I figured out a bulk of the plot early, but there were surprising elements that emerged throughout the book. Additionally, I also always enjoy a potentially unreliable narrator and the confusion that aspect will inevitable create. Looking forward to what this author writes next!

Loved this book! Dark and twisty and had me engaged the entire time. Will definitely recommend to friends to read.

This book was just twisty.

While I enjoyed the creepy friend-turned-roommate, and her relationship with Helen, all the relationships were incredibly difficult to keep track of, which made the ending a bit difficult as well. I did read part of it via audiobook - so it could also be the narration that made it a bit difficult to track.

Overall, I think thriller lovers will enjoy giving this one a chance - as long as they are focused and committed to it.

Thank you Net Galley for the Arc. This book is for those who like a unpredictable character and the single
mother type thriller. This had a well written plot, and stuck with it till the end. It was an ok read for me.

This was a fine enough domestic suspense novel but didn’t hold my attention as much as I would’ve liked for this kind of a story

Greenwich Park is a solid debut novel. The character development is good through the novel but the pacing is slow. I am not a fan of a "slow burn." While Helen, Katie and Serena are all grew up together. Helen and Serena are about to welcome newborns when Helen meets a new friend named Rachel. Rachel is from the prenatal class BUT she is a bit off. She drinks and smokes and is all around a loud person. Helen needs a friend so she looks past this. (huh?) Rachel is up to something and we are about to find out what!
This slow burn was a good first effort. 3.5 stars.

This was a good thriller! I must start out by saying I didn’t find any of the characters to be very likable. That doesn’t make it a bad book. They just weren’t either good people or I found them annoying. But the plot was still good and their development was good. Just not good people. The way the storyline progresses, it makes you dislike people at different times, and I really liked that. You are swayed into thinking one thing. And then information is slowly revealed. You think you have heard the entire plot twist and fully understand the story and then you are hit with another plot twist that is described in detail at length. This then leads to the last and final sentence that I found incredibly satisfying!

Thanks so much to Net Galley and Gallery Books for an ecopy of this book!
