The brand new novel from the worldwide No. 1 bestselling author of Amazon Prime's NINE PERFECT STRANGERS and the Emmy and Golden Globe-winning HBO series BIG LITTLE LIES

'Utterly and completely wonderful. I've loved all of Liane's books but Apples Never Fall is next-level writing: an intelligent, forensic portrait of a family' MARIAN KEYES
_______

The Delaney family love one another dearly - it's just that sometimes they want to murder each other . . .

Joy Delaney and husband Stan have done well. Four wonderful grown-up children. A family business to envy. The golden years of retirement ahead of them.

So when Joy Delaney vanishes - no note, no calls, her bike missing - it's natural that tongues will wag.

How did Stan scratch his face? And who was the stranger who entered and suddenly left their lives? What are they all hiding?

But for the Delaney children there is a much more terrifying question: did they ever know their parents at all?
_______

Praise for Liane Moriarty:

'One of the few writers I'll drop anything for' JOJO MOYES

'Staggeringly brilliant' SOPHIE HANNAH

'Keeps you guessing until the very end' REESE WITHERSPOON

'Her slow-burning plotting leaves you gasping' GRAZIA

Another excellent Moriarty novel

Reviewed in Australia on 28 September 2021

Verified Purchase

This one is about a tennis family and as sport isn’t my thing I was dubious at first. However, when the materfamilias disappears and it looks as though the paterfamilias might be responsible and the four very different adult kids plus Detective Khoury and her offsider struggle to figure it out, things become very interesting. Turns out that a young woman claiming to be fleeing domestic violence who ended up living with the mum and dad is more than a bit disturbed. What Moriarty does very well is show how a long marriage can be patches of light and dark and she’s particularly good at demonstrating inter generational trauma and its effects. There are also some good chuckle moments, like the receptionist eavesdropping on a phone conversation because her hearing is very good, “which was not her fault “. Like other authors now, care is taken to present characters from a variety of ethnic backgrounds as well, which is refreshing. I’d have to re-read the previous books to see if this is true, but my feeling is that this one is sharper-edged than her previous work. There’s a lot of astute observation of the human condition here. Enjoyed it a lot.

I just love the way she writes about families. Each as individuals and how they come together as a family. Thoroughly enjoyed this book.
Wasn't too enamoured by her previous book 'Nine Perfect Strangers'; favourite book of hers is 'What Alice Forgot'

Can be bothered finishing ...

Reviewed in Australia on 16 October 2021

Verified Purchase

I wish I had remembered how disappointed I was by Nine Perfect Strangers.

This is the extremely tedious story of a family of unlikeable people where the mother disappears.
I can't finish it because I really don't care what happened to her.
I tried to get interested and skipped ahead to see if it got better.
I have always finished books - even ones I don't like - until now.

Another classic Liane Moriarty tale - but perhaps a bit predictable in its unpredictability

Reviewed in Australia on 18 March 2022

Verified Purchase

There's a particular formula that a Liane Moriarty book will follow. Multiple perspectives on a story but told in such a way as to constantly hide important details from the audience and keep them guessing. Which is very interesting in many of her stories, but this one felt a bit more contrived than her more famous stories like Big Little Lies. Like I have read enough Liane Moriarty to know that whatever the reader first thinks is going on in the story, isn't. And therefore I'm constantly expecting a twist. Which means that when the twist happens it's not very surprising. In fact the ending to this story I felt was a bit anticlimactic. The most interesting characters in the story were the rich brother and the ageing hippie sister. And the pathological liar character - her motivation was way less interesting than I thought it would be. Anyway. I still enjoyed the read but it wasn't her best work.

a slow burn mystery with mixed reviews

Reviewed in Australia on 25 February 2022

Verified Purchase

Notes:
- It is a bit of a slow burn (long book at 467 pages)
- A lot of people think the ending is a little disappointing...I'll leave that up to you
- A lot of people say it's over written and bit pointless
- I'm kind of on the fence with this book, it was okay for me

Would I recommend this?
- Hard to say, I'm not sure what you like but it was okay. If you're unsure, just borrow it

I used to like Liane Moriarty books but this one was dreadful! Did she have a goal of writing so many words?
It was totally boring especially the last few chapters. I felt like throwing the book out trying to finish it.!!

Hard work

Reviewed in Australia on 7 November 2021

This latest book from Liane Moriarty was laborious reading and I only continued to the end because up until now I have LOVED her work. It jumped all about but, call me silly, but the 2 sons names in the story really annoyed me Logan and Troy. I felt Logan name suited Troy's personality better and vis aversa.

Returned for refund

Reviewed in the United States on 18 September 2021

Verified Purchase

Full disclosure, I returned this book for a refund having not gotten very far into the book. Boring. Boring. Boring. I don't care what happened to the mother. I hope she ran away and is living her best life. I don't care who the mystery girl really is. I don't care if the children get divorced or not or solve whatever other issues they have. This is the first book I've ever read where I don't care about a single character. I wish I could add more, but there was nothing about this book to keep my interest even though I tried several times. I suggest downloading a sample first before buying. I mean, one chapter ends with one of the brothers getting a bad leg cramp while getting a pedicure. Was that supposed to be a cliffhanger of sorts? 😂🤦🏻

Good in parts.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 September 2021

Verified Purchase

Having read all of Liane Moriarty's books I was thrilled when this came out. However like her last one it just does not compare in any way shape or form to the genius that was "The Husband's Secret" or "Big Little Lies" It used to be said that authors have one great book in them, well Liane Moriarty had many more than one, but this is not one of them. Boring, repetitive and of no interest, except perhaps to tennis players. Sorry, hope there may yet be another Great one.

Not for me

The problem with this book for me is that I couldn't invest in any of the characters and that left me not really caring about what happens to them. I've put it aside for now and will try again in a few weeks.

A bit boring

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 October 2021

Verified Purchase

I got distracted reading it, it didnt have that intriguing element to keep you guessing. I couldn't wait to finish, just to finish, to be honest because i paid more for this book than i usually do and didnt want to give up. It just didn't come together for me in the intrigue and psychological stakes.

Ridiculous

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 November 2021

Verified Purchase

We’ll where do I start? This book is the most ridiculous, boring load of drivel I have ever read (and I’ve read some c***) It was bad enough getting to what I thought was the end. Then I noticed on my Kindle that I had another 25 minutes to go. I think the author had probably finished the book, before Covid hit. So she added a bit on to the end, to include the pandemic….and then decided to add even more at the end to which I can’t even comment on because it was completely irrelevant to the story….all in all this book is a disaster
