The Perfect Mother: A totally addictive and unputdownable psychological thriller packed with twists by Matthew Farrell
My daughter is gone. She’s been taken. I grip the phone so hard I think it might break, and try to focus on what they’re saying. I realise I’m not crying, even though I feel like I’ve been split in two. And then they say a name that makes my blood run cold…
Suddenly, my past and present collide. My heart pounds in my chest, memories flooding my head. I have to focus on my daughter, Nelle, but I can’t escape the panicked questions rushing in. How do they know about Betty? And what else do they know?
I picture Nelle’s beautiful green eyes and freckled cheeks, knowing that I have a choice to make. Just how far am I willing to go to protect my beloved family—and my secrets?
They give me an address in a tiny lake town upstate. I know another mother, a better mother, would call the police, but in seconds I’m driving as fast as I can away from my perfect white house with its perfect green lawn and the whole perfect life I’ve built since I last heard that name, my knuckles white on the steering wheel.
I’m terrified I’ll never see Nelle again. But I’ve been hiding behind my lies for twenty years. If the truth finally comes out, will my daughter ever forgive me? I don’t know. But I have to save her first to find out.
From bestselling author Matthew Farrell, this unbelievably twisty, unputdownable psychological thriller will keep you guessing right up to the final page! Fans of Freida McFadden, My Lovely Wife and The Couple Next Door will be hooked.

Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews
First, I want to thank Matthew Farrell, Bookouture, and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.
O.M.G!!! Seriously, where did Matthew Farrell come up with the inspiration to create a mother’s worst nightmare come true?! Seriously, my heart went out to all the mother’s reading The Perfect Mother. I am not a mother but if someone called me up and said I have your niece you have three hours to get here or she is dead I would be freaking the heck out! Oh and nothing would be standing in my way to get to her!! Needless to say this book touched me mentally and emotionally!! Oh and I loved every minute of it!! You will want to add this 5 star book to the top of your TBR list. Plus, like me you will want to read more from Matthew in the future! He is an amazing storyteller!
Instantly, Matthew grabbed my attention with his intense, twisted, action packed, fast paced read you will find yourself nibbling on your nails! Oh this is a story that will blow your mind and then some.
Let’s talk about Nelle for a minute shall we. She is the sweet innocent young girl in all of this. She did nothing wrong to deserve to be kidnapped and tortured! Oh no they didn’t want her they wanted her Mother! Can you imagine how scared she must have been?! O.M.G! I was so scared for her! Who knows what those monsters would do to her.
How far would Laura go to get her daughter back? Imagine the mental and emotional toll this is causing her driving three hours to get to her daughter and not knowing if she is ok.
Matthew throws in a twist that throws off the readers. The kidnappers keep calling Laura Betty and insist her Mom is still alive. So who are these people?! What do they have to do with the story? Why doesn’t Laura know about them? How much danger are Nelle and Laura really in?! OH and will Laura make the deadline to reach her daughter?!
This is a must read psychological thriller of 2022!! If you read anyone this year this is the one to read!!
