‘The perfect thriller’ CAZ FREAR
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.

Critics Review

Wonderfully addictive and electric, Greenwich Park gets under your skin from the very first pages and it’s impossible to look away from the tangle of friendships, the haunting of a guilty past, and the unease of a growing obsession ... I can’t wait to read what Faulkner writes next
Ashley Audrain, author of THE PUSH
-
This is a really promising debut with plenty of surprises to keep you guessing. If you like Louise Candlish, then you’ll want to take a walk in Greenwich Park

Faulkner offers a clever spin on an expanding subcategory of psychological thrillers set during maternity leave … A twisty, fast-paced read
Sunday 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
-
Do not read this book if you have anything important you need to get done! Fast-paced, twisty and with wonderfully complex and believable characters, it had me gripped to the last page
Clare Pooley
-
A gloriously tangled game of cat and mouse that kept the twists coming until the very last moment. Antenatal classes never looked so sinister!
Ruth Ware, author of 'One by One'
-
Meticulously crafted and deeply satisfying, Greenwich Park has all the hallmarks of a first-class psychological thriller. I read it in two sittings and was left smiling sardonically at the final line
Charlotte Philby, author of 'A Double Life'
-
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 rising tension as we careen towards a bloody showdown
The Times
-
One of the year’s most entertaining crime novels. A sharp, witty take on class and motherhood

Katherine Faulkner is amazingly talented. Greenwich Park is gripping and haunting and gorgeously suspenseful. I couldn't put this thriller down and can't recommend it highly enough
Zakiya Dalila Harris, author of 'The Other Black Girl'
-
Brilliantly twisty and full of excellently observed – if chilling – characters, Greenwich Park is a clever and knowing delve into the female psyche as well as a classic, pacy mystery. Atmospheric, aspirational and addictive!
Harriet Walker, author of 'The New Girl'
-
A fantastically addictive read. It’s so pacy, and there’s a real sense of dread on every page … fabulously unpleasant characters, and a beating feminist heart
Abigail Dean, author of 'Girl A'
-
One of the best debuts I’ve read in a long time... Intelligently plotted, with several completely unexpected gut-punches along the way, Greenwich Park is both a psychologically complex and hugely entertaining novel – in short, the perfect thriller
Caz Frear, author of 'Sweet Little Lies' and 'Shed No Tears'
-
Razor-sharp prose, a properly twisty set-up, lots of unlikeable characters and a strong feminist undercurrent – it’s got the lot! I raced through it. Absolutely loved it
Harriet Tyce, author of 'Blood Orange'
-
It’s a cracker – a top-notch psychological thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat till the very end
Independent
-
I devoured Greenwich Park in two greedy sittings. The writing is razor-sharp, the characters deliciously problematic and the ending utterly gasp-worthy. You’ll remember this thriller long after the final page
Robin Morgan-Bentley
-
Terrific. Pacey and suspenseful with a nice touch of satire
Amanda Craig, author of 'The Golden Rule'
-
A brilliant thriller
Bella Magazine
