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.

“A taut tale of secrets that won't die … Faulkner delights in letting her self-entitled characters reveal their many flaws by themselves. She also competently handles…”

– The Times

“It's twisty and dark and brilliant on secrets, lies and the extraordinary lengths some people will go to protect perfectly crafted existences. I raced through it.”

– Daily Mail

“Faulkner offers a clever spin on an expanding subcategory of psychological thrillers set during maternity leave . A twisty, fast-paced read.”

– Sunday Times

“This tense psychological thriller, with hints of uneasiness throughout, was devoured in two sittings. A deliciously dark debut.”
