What happens when a murder is linked to a group of mothers you’re friends with?  In The Other Mothers, a young journalist finds herself in the middle of a wealthy London community of mothers, but as she investigates mysterious deaths, she starts questioning her new friends’ intentions.  In this episode, Katherine Faulkner shares her insights on crafting a suspenseful narrative set amidst the dark underpinnings of a local nanny’s mysterious death.  She also offers a fascinating glimpse into her writing process and the elements that make a story both thrilling, readable, and relatable.  But we don’t just talk about The Other Mothers; we even circle back to her debut Greenwich Park, the books she’s reading, plus more.
