Publisher's summary

“A deliciously twisted thriller!” —People

A shocking murder rattles an exclusive London neighborhood in this “fast-paced, decadent skewering of upper middle-class motherhood” (Sarah Bonner, New York Times bestselling author) from the author of Greenwich Park.

Four new mothers…one exclusive playgroup…two murders.

New mom Tash is intrigued when a young nanny is found dead under mysterious circumstances. She has been searching for a story to launch her career as a freelance journalist. But she has also been searching for something else—new friends to help her navigate motherhood.

She sees them at her son’s new playgroup: the other mothers. A group of sleek, sophisticated women who live in a neighborhood of tree-lined avenues and stunning houses. The sort of mothers Tash would like to be. When the mothers welcome her into their circle, she discovers the kind of life she has always dreamt of—their elegant London townhouses a far cry from her cramped basement flat and endless bills. She is quickly swept up into their wealthy world via coffees, cocktails, and playdates.

But when another young woman is found dead, it’s clear there’s much more to the tight-knit community than meets the eye. The more Tash investigates, the more she’s led uncomfortably close to the other mothers. Are these women really her friends? Or is there another, more dangerous reason why she has been so quickly accepted into their exclusive world? Who, exactly, is investigating who?

The author of Greenwich Park returns with this whip-smart novel that “pulls out all the psychological thriller stops—and then some” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).

Recommend for sure!

Bravo Outstanding!

This story was a bit difficult to engage with at the beginning. The moms were really mostly unlikeable so it was hard to connect. But as the plot goes on it’s like a car crash you so want to avoid looking at. Sophie is such a genuine person, mom, wife, and trying to make it on her own as a journalist. Without it being contrived the coincidences, communications are brilliantly put in place for both Sophie and the reader. As she clearly has been warned, Sophie sees her world crumbling but still has such a strong conviction for a woman she believes has been murdered. Character development is slow to be fully complete but eventually each character stands out amazingly. The house of cards coming down is exciting, tense, a bit thrilling and nothing expected!

Narration was great with such a large cast. Voices could be differentiated and emotions heard!!
