On this episode of TGE’s Current Read, hosts Sam and Charlene sit down with bestselling author Katherine Faulkner: journalist-turned-novelist and the mind behind Greenwich Park, The Other Mothers, and her latest psychological thriller, The Break In.
After a decade at The Times, London, as an investigative journalist and editor, Katherine has become one of the sharpest voices in modern domestic suspense – a master at throwing “ordinary women into extraordinary, what-would-you-do situations” (as you deftly put by author Abigail Dean.
In this episode, we chat about:
🖤 Katherine’s transition from newsroom to novelist life
🤍 The short story inspiration behind The Break In
🖤 The intersection of motherhood, domesticity and danger in Katherine’s work
🤍 The psychology of safety, secrecy and suspense within the home
🖤 How Katherine manages to write while raising two kids (spoiler alert: with difficulty!)
About the book:
The Break In follows a London mother who kills an intruder in self-defence, only to find that nothing about the man, or her own life, is as it seems. A chilling, twist-filled exploration of guilt, privilege, and how well we really know the people closest to us.
