But on this hot Fourth of July night, something goes terrifyingly wrong: one of the babies is taken from his crib.

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 the perfect thriller! Kept me guessing until the end! I couldn’t put it down!"
DeNeal Toews
"The Perfect Mother is a fun and addicting thriller. I was worried about it being too much a "mom book", but Aimme Molloy found the perfect balance. I tore through it really quickly, and really wanted to know what happened. <br/><br/>This book was almost a 5⭐ for me, but there were a couple things that made it a 4.5⭐. First, sometimes it was hard to tell which woman I was reading about - they were all pretty similar. Almost all of them had a male partner and one baby. I would have appreciated some diversity, even just for the sole purpose of keeping the characters straight. Everyone was also a little sad and a little overwhelmed - nobody had any strong emotions to set them apart. <br/><br/>My other issue was that parts of the ending were a little bit far-fetched, but overall, it was good. I think the plot twist was a good surprise. <br/><br/>The Perfect Mother will be out on 5/1/18, and if you want an intriguing and fast-paced thriller, pick this one up! Thank you to Harper Books for sending me a review copy!"

"Good book, but there were soo many characters/mommies that it was a bit hard to keep everyone strait, another book I needed to have a cheat sheet of notes on characters! "

"Not sure if it was because I listened to this book instead of reading it, but it was hard to follow the different characters and their stories. The beginning jumped right into it while the middle seemed to drag on, by the time the ending came, I was ready to be done."
Faith Gaubault
"It’s good. A hard read but a good book. "
Stephanie Demuth
"This book had me screaming at the end. I was so sure I had everything figured out, but I was so wrong! Very well written and what a twist! "
Brittany Dunseith
"The ending was definitely not what I expected. This is definitely a page turner. Also, I found myself relating to some of the mothers and what it's really like to raise a newborn, and I was particularly satisfied that the book pointed out some of the unfair standards society holds new mothers to.
