THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 

An addictive psychological thriller about a group of women whose lives become unexpectedlyconnected 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—a 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 want 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

A handsome psychotherapist. His lonely wife. And in his home office ceiling, a vent …

You’d listen too, wouldn’t you? (You know you would.)

Newlyweds Sam Statler and Annie Potter are head over heels, and excited to say good-bye to New York City and start a life together in Sam''s sleepy hometown upstate. Or, it turns out, a life where Annie spends most of her time alone while Sam, her therapist husband, works long hours in his downstairs office, tending to the egos of his (mostly female) clientele. Little does Sam know that through a vent in his ceiling, every word of his sessions can be heard from the room upstairs. The pharmacist''s wife, contemplating a divorce. The well-known painter whose boyfriend doesn’t satisfy her in bed. Who could resist listening? Everything is fine until the French girl in the green mini Cooper shows up, and Sam decides to go to work and not come home, throwing a wrench into Sam and Annie''s happily ever after. 

Showcasing Molloy’s deft ability to subvert norms and culminating in the kind of stunning twist that is becoming her trademark, Goodnight Beautiful is a thrilling tale of domestic suspense that not only questions assumptions but defies expectations.

O seară în oraș. Câteva ore de distracție. Asta e tot ce ar fi trebuit să fie.Își spun Mamele din Mai – un grup de proaspete mămici ai căror copii s-au născut în aceeași lună. De două ori pe săptămână se întâlnesc în Prospect Park din Brooklyn ca să petreacă puțin timp împreună.Atunci când femeile ies să bea ceva la barul din cartier, tot ce-și doresc este să ia o pauză de la rutina zilnică. Dar, într-o noapte fierbinte de 4 iulie, ceva teribil se întâmplă: unul dintre copii dispare din pătuțul lui. Winnie, o mamă singură, a ezitat să-l lase pe Midas, băiețelul ei de șase săptămâni, cu o bonă, dar colegele sale de la Mamele din Mai au insistat că totul va fi bine. Acum copilul a dispărut. Ceea ce urmează este o cursă contracronometru pentru a-l găsi pe Midas, în timpul căreia o mulțime de secrete ies la iveală, căsniciile sunt puse la încercare și prieteniile sunt distruse.„Molloy, o maestră a pistelor false, explorează cu abilitate așteptările, nesiguranța și prejudecățile nesfârșite care însoțesc maternitatea în acest thriller palpitant, ce prezintă un grup de femei puternice, inteligente și imperfecte care se sprijină reciproc atunci când au mai multă nevoie. Fascinant.”Kirkus Reviews„Extrem de inteligent... Un roman care duce cu gândul la recentele bestselleruri Fata din tren și Femeia de la fereastră, dar care este, de asemenea, o prezentare emoționantă a ceea ce înseamnă să fii un părinte modern și a presiunii deosebite puse asupra femeilor – din interior și din afară – pentru a face totul în mod impecabil.”Entertainment Weekly„Un thriller electrizant – o prezentare subtilă, inteligentă a așteptărilor nesfârșite ale maternității moderne.”

En utekväll. Några glas vin. Det skulle inte bli mer än så ...

De kallar sig själva för majmammorna , en grupp nyblivna mammor vars barn föddes samma månad. Två gånger i veckan ses de i Prospect Park i Brooklyn för att få lite välbehövlig tid tillsammans. När de bestämmer sig för att gå ut en kväll, till en trendig bar i kvarteret, är de bara ute efter en paus från sin småbarnsvardag. Singelmamman Winnie är tveksam till att lämna sin sexveckorsbebis Midas med barnvakten, men övertalas av de andra. Och just den här heta julikvällen försvinner han från sin spjälsäng. Ett desperat sökande inleds för att hitta honom och under dagarna som följer ställs allt på sin spets: hemligheter avslöjas, äktenskap sätts på prov och vänskap smulas sönder. Aimee Molloys internationella succé är en bladvändare som är omöjlig att lägga ifrån sig.  

"Tretton dagar. En oväntad twist. Den bästa mamman är en äkta bladvändare."

- B. A. Paris, författare

"En laddad thriller och samtidigt en raffinerad och smart dissektion av moderskapets oändliga krav."
