Synopsis

From Nora Murphy, author of The Favor, The New Mother is both relatable and nerve-wracking, sympathetic and bone-chilling— a fresh new twist on motherhood and murder in suburbia.

Isolated. Lonely. Tired. It's hard being The New Mother. Sometimes it's murder.

Nothing is simple about being a new mom alone in a new house, especially when your baby is collicky. Natalie Fanning loves her son unconditionally, but being a mother was not all she wanted to be.

Enter Paul, the neighbor.

Paul provides the lifeline she needs in what feels like the most desperate of times. When Paul is helping with Oliver, calmed by his reassuring, steady presence, Nat feels like she can finally rest.

But Paul wants something in return. It’s no coincidence that he has befriended Nat—she is the perfect pawn for his own plan. Will Nat wake up in time to see it?

A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books.

Goodreads review by Nilufer on March 19, 2023

Nora Murphy’s New Mother scared the living daylights out of me! This is not a horror novel! This is most honest and realistic fiction I’ve lately read about a woman’s struggling to be the best mother to her child! You may ask: what’s so terrifying about it? It sounds like a self exploratory, emotion......more
