Apples Never Fall

A compelling family mystery by Liane Moriarty, the bestselling author of Big Little Lies. The story revolves around the Delaney family, once famous in the world of tennis.

Stan and Joy Delaney have spent decades running a successful tennis academy and raising their four adult children. Their seemingly perfect family life begins to unravel when Joy suddenly disappears without explanation. As police investigate, suspicion falls on those closest to her—including her husband and children.

Through shifting perspectives and flashbacks, long-buried resentments, rivalries, secrets, and misunderstandings emerge. The disappearance forces each family member to confront uncomfortable truths about their relationships and the image of perfection they have tried to maintain.

Combining suspense, humor, and sharp psychological insight, Apples Never Fall explores family dynamics, marriage, sibling relationships, aging, and the gap between appearances and reality. While the mystery drives the plot, the novel's true strength lies in its richly drawn characters and emotional depth.
