There's enough mystery and questions as the book opens to hold readers attention with Greenwich Park. It wasn't as suspenseful or thriller-esc as I thought it would be. And the ending kinda leaves readers standing on a damp beach, on a midsummer day. 🤷🏾♀️ I would've liked it better if Helen's character got more out of it in the end, even if she was pregnant the entire book; other people were in more control of her life and the things happening around her than she was.
