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)

Bravo Cristin Milioti!
A baby is abducted, the crime scene is compromised, and a Mommy group becomes unhinged as its members try to solve the mystery, unwittingly exposing secrets long kept hidden. Five stars for being addictively, compulsively readable. Five stars for Cristin Milioti's fantastic narration. Three stars for literary value. Note: Mothers who have lost a baby (in any sense) might find this book triggering, so proceed with caution. #Audible1

Gripping psychological thriller? Nope!
I am so tired of books that say they are 'gripping psychological thrillers.' This book definitely was not. It had a multitude of characters Winnie, Franny, Scarlett, Collette, Token & Gemma to name a few all with some 'secret' in their past which in most cases didn't add to the book and the fact a baby had been kidnapped. I would liked to have seen more from the investigative end of it and more of the main character Winnie.
I found myself tuning out when listening to this book as it was slow moving.
I finished it, but even the epilogue was hokey.
