The Other Mothers

 Fiction by Katherine Faulkner


Ex-journalist Tash Carpenter has been taking her young son Finn to playgroup in her London neighborhood for a little while, but she can't really seem to make friends with the other mums, especially the posh ones. There are a three "ladies who brunch" who seem to be a tight clique, and Tash wants to break into that circle. Then one day they actually invite her to join them!

At the same time Tash is trying to do an investigative piece on Sophie Blake, a nanny who was found dead a year or so before. But is there a connection between her new friends and her big story?

This was an okay mystery story but it had some draggy bits and an implausible conclusion. I didn't love it.


I also read recently by this author: Greenwich Park
