The Perfect Mother

New motherhood is tough, but the May Mothers—whose babies share the same birth month—have each other. They swap mothering tips, confess insecurities, and commiserate about lost sleep in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park. When one of the moms spearheads a girls’ night out, it sounds like a much-needed escape from the demands of new motherhood. But while the women drink in a local bar, one of the babies vanishes from his crib. The ensuing media frenzy brings secrets from their long-buried pasts come to light as the friends race against time to discover what happened—and if there’s any hope of saving the baby. Just when you think you’ve got it figured out, Malloy drops another surprise in your lap. A fast-paced psychological thriller, soon to be a major motion picture starring Kerry Washington.

Goodnight Beautiful

Goodnight Beautiful

A brand new mystery from author of The Perfect Mother. This twisty domestic thriller made me stop in several places and go “wait, what?” Molloy skillfully shifts the point of view, making you question all the assumptions you had about what was happening in the story. We meet the main characters, Sam and Annie, as newlyweds moving to upstate New York. Sam is a therapist who practices from home, where Annie happens to overhear just about every session. When a mysterious French girl shows up, the happy couple's blissful future takes a turn. I especially enjoyed the frequent West Wing references (that's my quarantine show of choice), plus a strong connection to Misery by Stephen King. The audiobook features multiple narrators, including George Newbern and Marin Ireland.
