Summary:

Helen has it all…

Daniel is the perfect husband.
Rory is the perfect brother.
Serena is the perfect sister-in-law.

And Rachel? Rachel is the perfect nightmare.

When Helen, finally pregnant after years of tragedy, attends her first antenatal class, she is expecting her loving architect husband to arrive soon after, along with her confident, charming brother Rory and his pregnant wife, the effortlessly beautiful Serena. What she is not expecting is Rachel.

Extroverted, brash, unsettling single mother-to-be Rachel, who just wants to be Helen’s friend. Who just wants to get know Helen and her friends and her family. Who just wants to know everything about them. Every little secret…

Masterfully plotted and utterly addictive, Greenwich Park is a dark, compelling look at motherhood, friendships, privilege and the secrets we keep to protect ourselves.

Review:

Greenwich Park is a twisted, scandalous and addictive thriller which had me hooked from the start. Helen is a privileged woman, finally pregnant after suffering many losses. She meets the bold and mysterious Rachel at an antenatal class and Rachel soon inserts herself into Helen’s life wholly and unsettlingly. However, there is much more to Rachel’s story and her reasons for seeking Helen’s friendship so determinedly, and things soon begin to escalate.

I found this thriller incredibly compelling, not that many of the characters are particularly likeable, but they are certainly intriguing and I always find stories of the rich and privileged falling from grace rather interesting. It is a twisty tale that ended up in a very different place than I expected it to go and I will definitely be reading more from this talented author in the future.
