About this listen

Bloomsbury presents The Other Mothers by Katherine Faulkner, read by Louise Brealey and Dakota Blue Richards.

'This is The Undoing meets Big Little Lies. A fast-paced, decadent skewering of upper-middle-class motherhood' ABIGAIL DEAN

'The Other Mothers is the elevated, devourable thriller you’ve been looking for' ASHLEY AUDRAIN

'I read this brilliantly plotted, brilliantly observed thriller in one sitting ... So good' INDIA KNIGHT

The outstanding new 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.

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!

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!

Really enjoyed

This was twisty and well written. I often find repetition of standard phrases in this genre, but this felt fresh and realistic. I loved the ending, dilemmas and how it wasn't all summed up in a quick 20 mins at the end. Really good writing, I'm going straight o find another of hers.
