A Most Anticipated Book by: Crime Reads, Buzzfeed, Popsugar, Bustle, New York Post
From “master of clever misdirection” (Kirkus Reviews) Aimee Molloy, author of the New York Times bestseller The Perfect Mother, comes an irresistible psychological thriller featuring a newly married woman whose life is turned upside down when her husband goes missing.
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.

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE DIRECTED BY JON STEWART | Previously published as Then They Came for MeWhen Maziar Bahari left London in June 2009 to cover Iran’s presidential election, he assured his pregnant fiancée, Paola, that he’d be back in just a few days, a week at most. Little did he know, as he kissed her good-bye, that he would spend the next three months in Iran’s most notorious prison, enduring brutal interrogation sessions at the hands of a man he knew only by his smell: Rosewater. For the Bahari family, wars, coups, and revolutions are not distant concepts but intimate realities they have suffered for generations: Maziar’s father was imprisoned by the shah in the 1950s, and his sister by Ayatollah Khomeini in the 1980s. Alone in his cell at Evin Prison, fearing the worst, Maziar draws strength from his memories of the courage of his father and sister in the face of torture, and hears their voices speaking to him across the years. He dreams of being with Paola in London, and imagines all that she and his rambunctious, resilient eighty-four-year-old mother must be doing to campaign for his release. During the worst of his encounters with Rosewater, he silently repeats the names of his loved ones, calling on their strength and love to protect him and praying he will be released in time for the birth of his first child. A riveting, heart-wrenching memoir, Rosewater offers insight into the past seventy years of regime change in Iran, as well as the future of a country where the democratic impulses of the youth continually clash with a government that becomes more totalitarian with each passing day. An intimate and fascinating account of contemporary Iran, it is also the moving and wonderfully written story of one family’s extraordinary courage in the face of repression. “I really connected to Maziar’s story. It’s a personal story but one with universal appeal about what it means to be free.”—Jon Stewart “An important and elegant book . . . a prison memoir enlarged into a family history.”—The New Republic “Clear and compelling . . . engaging and informative—a gripping tribute to human dedication and a cogent indictment of a corrupt regime.”—Washington Independent Review of Books “[Rosewater] is not only a fascinating, human exploration into Bahari’s personal experience . . . it also provides insight into the shared experience of those affected by repressive governments everywhere.”—Mother Jones“A damning account . . . [Rosewater] turns a lens not only on Iran’s surreal justice system but on the history and culture that helped produce it.”—The Washington Post “[Rosewater] is a unique achievement. It is a story not just of political cruelty (a subject Bahari treats movingly), but also about the two poles of Iranian political culture, bent together in upheaval.”—The Guardian (UK) “A beautifully written account of life in Iran, filled with insights not only into the power struggles and political machinations but into the personal, emotional lives of the people living in that complicated country. Maziar Bahari is a brave man and a wonderful storyteller.”—Fareed ZakariaFrom the Trade Paperback edition. - E-bokEngelska, 2018

Keiner sieht dich. Doch du hörst alles ...Der Psychotherapeut Sam und seine Frau Annie ziehen aus New York in die verschlafene Kleinstadt, in der Sam aufgewachsen ist. Dort arbeitet Sam fast rund um die Uhr in seiner Praxis im Souterrain mit seinen (hauptsächlich weiblichen) Klientinnen, während Annie zu viel Zeit allein verbringt. Sam ahnt nicht, dass durch einen Lüftungsschacht all seine Therapiesitzungen im Obergeschoss zu hören sind: die Frau des Apothekers, die sich scheiden lassen möchte. Die Malerin mit dem enttäuschenden Liebesleben. All diese Geschichten mit anzuhören, ist unwiderstehlich. Doch dann taucht die betörende junge Französin in dem grünen Mini Cooper auf. Und Sam geht eines Tages zur Arbeit, um nicht wieder zurückzukehren ... - E-bokTyska, 2019

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."

I den psykologiska romanen utforskas moderna moderskapsfrågor. Den fokuserar på kvinnors liv som kallar sig 'majmammor'—deras barn föddes den här månaden. Två gånger i veckan samlas vänner i parken och delar sina rädslor och glädjeämnen. En kväll, när barnen är med barnvakter, träffas gruppen på en lokal bar, men något går fel: den ensamstående modern Vinnies baby kidnappas från huset. Polisen ställer oroande frågor, och den unga kvinnans privata liv blir en mediesensation. Författaren uttrycker sin syn på den idealiska modern och betonar att moderna kvinnor kan avvisa påtvingade stereotyper.
