A review by jstorrick
Greenwich Park by Katherine Faulkner
4.0
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helen was wished to be a mother her whole life, all she wants is a baby and finally she has a successful pregnancy. When she starts to attend a prenatal class, she is thrilled to meet another first time mom Rachel. But something is off about this new friend, Helen can tell she is hiding something. When the police show up at Helens asking questions about Rachel’s disappearance, Helen decides enough is enough. She needs to figure out who this woman is and how she is linked to her past.
“Greenwich Park” is a slow burn, domestic thriller focussing on Helen, her friends, and family. While most domestic thrillers keep me on the edge of my seat, this was much more of a slow burn. There are so many characters, storylines, timelines and clues to keep track of. The best way I can describe this novel is a puzzle. You are given small bits of information and while you try to piece it together you similarly cannot. The action truly did not pick up until about half way through the book and at times it was confusing how everything fit together. While the ending wraps everything up in a nice bow, it was slow at times.
RECOMMEND: If you are looking for a slow burn domestic thriller I would recommend.
