About this listen

The instant New York Times best seller and most anticipated book of the summer

Soon to be a major motion picture starring Scandal's Kerry Washington

An addictive psychological thriller about a group of women whose lives become unexpectedly connected when one of their newborns goes missing.

A night out. A few hours of fun. That's all it was meant to be.

They call themselves the May Mothers - group of new moms whose babies were born in the same month. Twice a week, they get together in Brooklyn's Prospect Park for some much-needed adult time.

When the women go out for drinks at the hip neighborhood bar, they are looking for a fun break from their daily routine. But on this hot Fourth of July night, something goes terrifyingly wrong: one of the babies is taken from his crib. Winnie, a single mom, was reluctant to leave six-week-old Midas with a babysitter, but her fellow May Mothers insisted everything would be fine. Now he is missing. What follows is a heart-pounding race to find Midas, during which secrets are exposed, marriages are tested, and friendships are destroyed.

Thirteen days. An unexpected twist. The Perfect Mother is a "true page turner." (B.A. Paris, author of Behind Closed Doors)

As a mother, grandmother and great grandmother I’ve never known a perfect mother. Every child is different so you do have to make adjustments.

This book is rather confusing. The mother’s stories are scattered and rather “jerky”. Even at the end I still had questions. But I did enjoy listening while I went about my day. I did have to rewind several times.

I bought this on sale so I have no complaints.

I liked it

This story was confusing for me a lot of the time . it must be the way that the book is written. You never know who was talking and there were several characters. But, it was a good story.

confusing but good

Very well written. I did have a hard time with the first few chapters, but once I had time i finished the book in one seating. I listened to it on an audiobook. The story was told from different characters. It really showed the story as a whole since everyone had a piece of it. Love the determination of Francis (hopefully spelled her name right). She seemed not to have an important role in the story and I thought she was a bit obsessive. I don't want to give too much away. The story was intertwine and detailed.

Very good twist

I loved The perfect Mother. It was just the right blend of suspense, reality of new motherhood and whodunit. Quick and easy to get into. Great performance too. Do yourself a favor and download this mystery today.

Great performance, great thriller

There were so many ‘main’ characters that it got a little convoluted at times, and it took sooooo long to get to the actual plot. The narrator did a great job. I just felt like half of the middle could have been removed.

Very slow

I was disappointed! A lot of characters and storylines, but you never get to know the main character. Them a twist at the e d with a character that is barely mentioned. The narrator was the only good part of this book.

Meh
