Publisher's summary
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)

Like when Kat's financier husband, Howard, plunges to his death from the second-floor balcony of their South Florida mansion. Howard was a jerk, a drunk, a bully, and, police say, a murder victim. The questions begin piling up.

When you listen to this audiobook, you will make many assumptions. You will assume you are listening to a story about a jealous ex-wife. You will assume she is obsessed with her replacement - a beautiful, younger woman who is about to marry the man they both love. You will assume you know the anatomy of this tangled love triangle. Assume nothing. Twisted and deliciously chilling, The Wife Between Us exposes the secret complexities of an enviable marriage - and the dangerous truths we ignore in the name of love.

I liked it
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.

Very good twist
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.

Great performance, great thriller
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.

Very slow
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.

Meh
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.
