Book Description

July 1, 2000
From Jon Salem, an exciting new voice in suspense fiction, comes a chilling new novel reminiscent of Tom Savage's The Inheritance and Lisa Gardner's The Other Daughter. Salem's previous books, Remember September, started readers and reviewers talking, and "The Perfect Mother" will have them clamoring for more from this talented writer.

With two beautiful children, a high-profile husband, and her own upscale boutique in Atlanta, Sharon Driver's life should be complete. What nobody knows is that a secret she thought she'd buried fifteen years earlier is about to resurface. For a sinister threat has invaded Sharon's world -- one that lurks behind the mask of a familiar, friendly face.

Fifteen years ago, terrified and alone, Georgette Tucker was forced to give up her newborn daughter, plunging her life into a dizzying downward spiral. Through it all, she has clung to the memory of her sweet child, who has grown up believing another woman is her mother. Now, as Georgette makes her way to Atlanta, she is ready to have the life she's always dreamed of -- the life that should have been rightfully hers all along. And this time, she'll succeed. For she's determined to be the perfect mother -- even if it means planning the perfect murder.

5.0 out of 5 stars I hate when..., August 28, 2000
By 
Deb (Dingmans Ferry, Pa USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Perfect Mother (Paperback)
I hate when I spend $6.00 for a book and read it in under a day! I liked this book! Some of the characters weren't particularly "likeable" (Heath is a jerk!) and Katie, the teen-aged daughter, was a little out of control. The book was a very fast read and the few times I put it down, I couldn't wait to get back to it. It held my interest and was a pleasant way to spend an afternoon and evening.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Mother Is Just Like It Says, PERFECT!, August 29, 2000
This review is from: The Perfect Mother (Paperback)
I recently read Remember September last year and was sooo impressed by Jon Salem. Then a couple days ago while I was browsing in the stores I saw The Perfect Mother. Oh boy, I thought, it's by Jon Salem, so I figured its got to be good. I bought and loved every last word of it. Suspense throughout the entire book. It was about a woman named Georgette who gave her baby away for adoption when she was about 18 and now she wants her back. But now the girl is already 15 and living with a very loving and supportive family. But Georgette wants her "baby" back and she will do anything to get her back, EVEN KILL! Salem is a future Jeffery Deaver in my eyes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fizzled out early on, July 17, 2000
By 
Sherrie Martin "sherchez" (Roanoke, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Perfect Mother (Paperback)
Sharon Driver and her husband, Heath, adopted a daughter, Katie, 15 years ago and 3 years ago Sharon gave birth to a son, Liam. Now Katie's birth mother, Georgette, is looking for her, and the woman ain't right.

Sharon is put upon, Heath is a philanderer, Liam is adorable, and Katie is troubled by teenage angst. The storyline builds around Georgette's insinuation into the Driver family. She spends big bucks and stacks up some bodies in her quest to reclaim her daughter, but it's all fairly predictable and never really builds up a full head of steam. There's lots of sex, most of it of the male fantasy variety. As a thriller, it simply fell somewhat short.
