From the moment I picked this book up, I couldn’t put it down. Faulkner’s writing grips you tightly and doesn’t let go until the last line. This thriller/mystery kept me reading late into the night, desperate to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Although I thought I knew how this was going to end, I was pleasantly surprised to find I was wrong. Faulkner is an author I will be excitedly anticipating another novel from for quite sometime.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy of Greenwich Park, the debut novel by Katherine Faulkner. This book started off with a slow build, but in the second half it got just as twisty as promised. By the end, I had a fair idea of who the villain(s) were but nevertheless the revelations stacked up, one on top of the other, so that I was never quite sure just how culpable they were until the very end. I enjoyed this book and would continue to read thrillers by this author.

An amazing debut book by Katherine Faulkner! A suspenseful, slow burning, twisty page turner! A creepy, dark brilliantly written book. Full of secrets and unreliable friendships. Helen a successful mother to be has everything she could ever want but when she meets Rachel a single mother to be who doesn't seem motherly at all at a prenatal class she starts to be drawn to her. She thinks Rachel just needs a friend. But eventually Helen realizes that there's more to Rachel then meets the eye. Thanks Netgalley and the publisher for the advance ecopy.

What an interesting thriller! This book was a great read for people that like domestic suspense and secrets coming to light.

Katherine Faulkner has written an exciting and suspenseful novel set in a wealthy area of London. Helen has married her college sweetheart, and her brother has married his. All of them went to Cambridge and became great and close family while there. Helen has had much difficulty giving birth to babies, she has lost four. Serena is married to her brother and is pregnant with their first child. Helen is also pregnant and seems to be having better luck with the fifth.
Helen has signed all four of them up for prenatal classes but none of the others seem to manage to show up, including Helen's husband. As a result, Helen makes a friend in the class. Rachel is her name and she is much younger; she does not really seem as happy to be pregnant. In fact, she drinks wine and smokes, and encourages Helen to do the same.
The story gets very interesting when Rachel shows up in places where Helen is, invites herself to lunches and other functions that Helen is going to. Then one day she shows up needing a place to stay "for a few days".
I found myself unable to put the book down, the characters were enthralling and the storyline became quite fascinating and I found myself trying to figure out what Rachel was up to. The ending was unexpected and I LOVE it when I cannot see how a book will end. This was a first novel for Faulkner, let's hope she writes more.

Excellent, dangerously riveting, extremely addictive, absolutely unputdownable!

This is 3 POVed characterization, three unique different women narrations, web of secrets, lies, well played twists, capturing, breathing structure and surprising, well developed conclusion makes me you smile happily reminded you of karma is exactly dirty, notorious b*itch!

Helen married to Daniel who is also partner of his brother Rory ’s architecture firm they inherited from their highly appraised, famous architect father Richard.

She’s expecting after too many miscarriages later. Still grieving with those babies and her parents’ loss, taking early maternal leave for her medical conditions.

Serena is our other narrator but we less hear her voice than Helen and Helen’s childhood friend and also Helen’s young, adventurist brother Charlie’s girlfriend Kate. But we already get some clues about those narration parts that Serena was self absorbed, cold, perfectionist, manipulative, show off woman who likes to share how spectacular her life with her social media audiences.

Interestingly both Helen and Serena are expecting and they may give birth to her babies at the same time. But this fact didn’t make them any closer. We see Helen always admires her, snooping on her beauty products, buying exactly the same pendant she wears.

Now she attends prenatal classes all alone: because she is already ditched by Serena and her workaholic husband. She meets eccentric, dramatic, young single mother Rachel at this place who smokes like chimney, drinking alcohol, breaking each rules of the pregnancy. And she seems like taking advantage of Helen’s loneliness and appearing at everywhere she walks, stealing her entire time.

Things get escalate as she appears at her house with ugly read fingerprints on her throat, in a delirious mood, begging her to stay at their home. Helen cannot say no even though Daniel gets furious about her decision because it’s obvious somebody attacked to young woman and her life can be on danger.

Only one night stand turns into a couple of weeks home invasion. Rachel has no intention to go and Helen starts suspecting the mysterious father Rachel carries baby of might be someone she is closer but who?

Kate is a reporter investigating a young girl’s rape case which reminds her of another incident happened at the Cambridge ten years ago. But her digging takes her to the different direction she never intended to go!

At this point, things get so much messier!
I could give more stars but Helen’s naivety level was a little too much to tolerate from the beginning. She was too blind to see things in front of her eyes screaming to run away and get away from those toxic people!

My favorite character was Kate and I truly wanted to read more of voice. I even secretly wanted her end up with DI Mark Carter. I think she earned her own book. She was one of the most interesting, sympathetic, layered characters you may easily connect with.

So I’m giving my 4.25 stars. But I have to admit, I loved this thrilling, definitely smart, twisty ride so much! I highly recommend this heart pounding, mind bending, well structured page turner!

Special thanks to NetGalley and Gallery Books for sharing this digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest opinions.

This was one that I did greatly enjoy, but also found to be a bit too slow or something while reading. In finishing, I do think it came together perfectly and while I felt it may have been a bit much filler, I’m not sure if it really was because it did all come together in a perfect way. It did keep me guessing, which is not normal for me, so that’s a huge plus in my eyes! It was very well written, riveting, and shocking! I would highly recommend to those who are good with just letting it all come together, instead of flying together immediately!

Will make sure to buzz around and use low Amazon reviewer number on release!

Told in alternating POV from the various characters this was an unusual and sometimes frightening thriller. I thought the characters were interestingly developed and I really liked this authors writing style. This should be on everyone’s summer reading list!

3.5** As a fan of thrillers I was eager to read this - twisting & turning and left me wondering if I was making things up myself! If you're a fan of thrillers I would recommend this - it's a story that will definitely keep you guessing throughout the book. My only issue with the story is that the build up seemed to drag on a little. Now that I've finished the story I understand why so much character development & background was needed, but as I was reading it seemed a bit irrelevant.

Throughout the story I had a few ideas of who Rachael could be but somehow I was never right. And poor Helen who just seemed to get dragged into something she never asked for. Minor trigger warning for mentions of miscarriage so if you are sensitive to that I would be cautious going into this book.

Like I mentioned above it took me awhile to get into this story because of all the introduction it had, but once it started going I couldn't put my iPad down! The very last bit from Serena tying everything together was incredible and the twist at the very end WOW! That was good & I wasn't expecting it at all. I tend to rate thrillers lower because I can't see myself rereading them after I know how everything ends up, I would still recommend this though. A fun read especially if you are looking for something to take on vacation with you.

I just couldn't get into this one as I had hoped. The premise sounded okay but for me I just couldn't do it. I think that this is a great concept and overall could have been better for me.

On the edge of your seat suspenseful, while easily followed plot throughout. Looking forward to more from this author.

This thriller grabbed me from the first page! Rich, flawed characters, an atmospheric setting and a secret from the past, all the makings of a great story! The twist are crazy! Just when I thought I’d figured it out, another red herring! This might be Katherine Faulkner’s first book, but I’m confident that it won’t be her last!

This one was hard to define. It took me a while to get into but the ending was really good so I'm torn. It has three narrators and that builds up quite an interesting take on the book, and although some aspects of the thriller are predictable, some are definitely not, and quite interesting. I think part of why i didn't love this from the start is that i really did not like any of the characters and it took some time for me to be invested at all. But there are some interesting twist and turns and the last line makes the book.

I devoured this book over two days, even staying up late to read which I don't usually do! The author doles out just enough information to keep you hooked and turning pages.. Told in alternating POV’s - which is a method I love for thrillers - the twists kept me guessing. This is an author to watch. Highly recommend

I really really liked this one! A debut writer too - so looking forward to any forthcoming books. Helen has a nice life with her husband. She is pregnant after several losses and meets an unpredictable woman at her prenatal courses named Rachel. Rachel ends up worming her way into Helen's life eventually with the threat to expose some family secrets that could destroy their lives.

Excellent writing and characters, great plot and flow as well! I loved it!

Greenwich Park is an affluent neighbourhood in London, and Helen, with her “perfect” life, is perfectly suited to it. Greenwich Park is another character in the book, rather the old fashioned house that is symbolic of Helen’s familial wealth, is. But it's being renovated and not going well. Helen has a handsome, accomplished husband who works with her brother in the family architecture firm, but he is acting strangely. She is finally pregnant after many interrupted pregnancies, and those losses have affected Helen deeply. All this to say that she is vulnerable and not mentally prepared for a larger-than-life fellow mother she meets in a prenatal class—a smoking, drinking, swearing working class unpredictable expectant mother—but Helen is also drawn to her, maybe because she feels motherly, maybe because she feels the wealth guilt, maybe she's just lonely…but Rachel starts to insinuate herself into Helen’s life. You might think Single White Female and The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, but it’s not that. Of course, considering the genre, Rachel and her entrance onto the scene coincides with some other mysteries in Helen’s life and a digging up old secrets.

This was such a good, twisty book. I loved the peek into Helen’s aristocratic home, and a renovation gone wrong, the house crumbling a metaphor for all of Helen's life crumbling around her, the red herrings everywhere. There is even a dogged best friend who is a journalist who is a stand in for the reader—she sees how creepy and strange things are getting for Helen. The ending is a standout. High recommend.

Devoured doesn't come close to the way I inhaled this story. I couldn't put it down if I had to. So so good.

I loved this book! So many twists and turns. I thought I had it figured out so many times and yet,not. Keep writing!!! #greenwichpark #netgalley

I want to say that I was hooked reading this book. if it weren’t for the many cringing moments I had with some of the content, where I found it a bit preposterous., I would have given a higher rating. I also found the characters to be unlikeable, cunning and somewhat obtuse. Speculating on who did what to whom was interesting but when it all comes together in one neat package, in the last paragraph, it is anticlimactic to me. Too much, too little too late. (to coin a phrase). I could give many examples to support my review but they would contain spoilers, therefore I choose to refrain. Three stars because it kept me interested to the end. Thank you NetGalley and Gallery Books for the opportunity to read this ARC.

Greenwich Park has enough twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

The characters are well-defined and the storyline is easy to follow.

In Greenwich Park, Helen's idyllic life begins to change the day she meets Rachel at her prenatal class. Rachel is unpredictable exhibiting erratic behavior which means trouble.

Excellent writing!

Highly recommend Greenwich Park and can't wait for the next book.
