Summary
An outstanding thriller from the author of international bestseller, Greenwich Park
You want to be one of them. Until you know them.
Ex-journalist Tash has been searching for a story to launch her freelance career. 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. The sleek, the sophisticated, the successful mothers… The women she wants to be.
And then one day they welcome her into their circle and Tash 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.
They seem to have everything. But they also have their secrets.
And it’s soon clear that not everyone at the playgroup can be trusted.

I didn’t see that coming
For the first time in a very long time and many many books I got it wrong.

it wasn't for me
Despite very good reviews, I found this long winded, and the narration wasn't the best. I might give it another go when I've run out of books. But for now, it's a no from me!

Very entertaining and engaging
A good page turner and kept me gripped. It’s a little cliche in parts and some bits didn’t ring true for me e.g. why would a character be keen to go on a holiday with a group of friends that they are eager to distance themselves from and includes a colleague who they has some longstanding issues with?? However, the parts with Sophie at the end were quite movingly written and the main characters were well fleshed out. I found the narration good and voices suited the characters. An overall solid ride but not as haunting as some other thrillers that really get under your skin.

Kept me guessing
Enjoyed the narrative structure, unlike others I liked the flicking between the different time periods, as well as the story being told through the eyes of the different characters.
I wanted more on Tash’s relationship with Sophie’s mother that felt a bit abandoned. Some of the characters were not that convincing and felt like caricatures . Overall a good yarn that had me wanting to keep listening.

All the characters were annoying
An annoying long winded route to the conclusion. unbelievably gullible and dense reporter! Plot was good but boring as there were no nice characters!
