Faulkner’s debut novel is a psychological thriller weaving together longtime friends, family, and a new dysfunctional friendship. The story focuses on three siblings and their partners: Helen, who is married to Daniel; Helen’s brothers Charlie and Rory (married to Serena); and Katie (dating Charlie). Told from three points of view—Helen, Katie, and Serena—this character-driven tale centers on Helen and her new friend Rachel, a single pregnant woman she meets in a prenatal class. The secrets, twists, and lies make up for the slow pacing, and the plot is solid and the mystery well done. Laura Kirman’s smooth and masterful narration supports the suspenseful atmosphere of the tale.
VERDICT Fans of Lisa Jewell, Ruth Ware, or twisty domestic thrillers in general will enjoy this story.
