The Other Mothers

I was gripped; the writing is on point while the characterisation will have you nodding in agreement

Belfast Telegraph

Katherine's done it again! Anyone who enjoyed Greenwich Park will love this – maybe even more. Full of terrible people behaving terribly, it's such a compelling story. I read it in one sitting last night – extremely gripping. It filled me with immense relief that my children are now in their later teenage years and that I never have to deal with this again

Harriet Tyce

As addictive as it gets!

Fabulous

Glossy, privileged mummy posse - appalling humans, obviously - dead nanny, struggling, unglossy journalist trying to make sense of it all. I read this brilliantly plotted, brilliantly observed thriller in one sitting, and then thanked the Lord for no longer being the parent of a school-aged child. So good

India Knight, Sunday Times Magazine

A page-turner about the dark secrets that lie behind the seemingly perfect facades of young mothers

Cosmopolitan

Next-level mum noir, The Other Mothers is a brilliant portrayal of the complexities of parenthood, work and - oh yes - murder. Smart, tense and gripping. Loved it!

Ellery Lloyd

Fans of Motherland will love the observations in this twisty, one-sitting read

Woman & Home

A wry and tightly plotted look at parent cliques, playgroup angst and when mum-life turns sour … The Other Mothers is Big Little Lies meets Silent Witness. I loved it!

Harriet Walker

Wonderful sense of growing dread in the dark side of motherland

Fiona Barton

The Other Mothers is not only a sharp, fabulously pacy thriller, but also a biting commentary on the demands (and consequences) of a certain kind of performative parenting. I finished it in one sitting, captured by Faulkner’s compelling characters and gripping plot, and the ending provided a truly satisfying twist! A sinister window into the darker side of motherhood, you’ll never look at playgroup parents quite the same…

Kate Collins, author of A Good House for Children

The Other Mothers is brilliant! Such a fast-paced, twisty story that takes you in completely unexpected directions. I read this in one sitting and adored every page. Katherine Faulkner's first novel was fantastic, but this is another step up. The characters are wonderfully vivid and Faulkner captures the worlds of both journalism and motherhood perfectly. She also nails the moment when they both start going wrong

Fans of TV’s Motherland will love this twisty read

Crime Monthly

Smart, slick and utterly captivating; The Other Mothers reeled me in with its wonderfully intricate plot and brilliant cast of characters. Highly recommended

Sarah Bonner, author of Her Perfect Twin

A highly addictive and whip-smart tale, The Other Mothers strips the surface from Insta-perfect lives to reveal a deeply unsettling reality. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough!

Teresa Driscoll

A delicious peek behind the curtain of London’s yummy mummies, a world of bi-fold doors and dark secrets, Sweaty Betty leggings and suspicious deaths. The characters leap off the page

Amanda Reynolds

The Other Mothers is a first-class thriller, with taut prose, gasp-worthy twists and characters you’ll love to hate. Faulkner has done it again - fans of Greenwich Park won’t be disappointed

Robin Morgan-Bentley

The Other Mothers is my favourite version of this genre: smart, well-written and thoughtful, so that you feel like you get two books in one. Firstly, a brilliant exploration of class, motherhood and identity and secondly, a thriller that will keep you page turning way into the night

Caroline Corcoran

Through many twists and turns this book keeps you guessing up to the very end. A riveting read

Muddy Stilettos

Praise for Greenwich Park: Deliciously dark and deftly plotted. Faulkner mines the seam of guilt beneath her characters "perfect" lives with devastating precision

Praise for Greenwich Park: 'Faulkner offers a clever spin on psychological thrillers set during maternity leave … A twisty, fast-paced read’

Praise for Greenwich Park: 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

A gripping story full of fascinating characters
