From Liane Moriarty, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers, comes Apples Never Fall, an audiobook that looks at marriage, siblings, and how the people we love the most can hurt us the deepest.


The Delaney family love one another dearlyit’s just that sometimes they want to murder each other . . .

If your mother was missing, would you tell the police? Even if the most obvious suspect was your father?

This is the dilemma facing the four grown Delaney siblings.

The Delaneys are fixtures in their community. The parents, Stan and Joy, are the envy of all of their friends. They’re killers on the tennis court, and off it their chemistry is palpable. But after 50 years of marriage, they’ve finally sold their famed tennis academy and are ready to start what should be the golden years of their lives. So why are Stan and Joy so miserable?

The four Delaney children—Amy, Logan, Troy, and Brooke—were tennis stars in their own right, yet as their father will tell you, none of them had what it took to go all the way. But that’s okay, now that they’re all successful grown-ups and there is the wonderful possibility of grandchildren on the horizon.

One night a stranger named Savannah knocks on Stan and Joy’s door, bleeding after a fight with her boyfriend. The Delaneys are more than happy to give her the small kindness she sorely needs. If only that was all she wanted.

Later, when Joy goes missing, and Savannah is nowhere to be found, the police question the one person who remains: Stan. But for someone who claims to be innocent, he, like many spouses, seems to have a lot to hide. Two of the Delaney children think their father is innocent, two are not so sure—but as the two sides square off against each other in perhaps their biggest match ever, all of the Delaneys will start to reexamine their shared family history in a very new light.

Not The Best Apple But A Good One.

In comparison to Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers, Apples Never Fall does indeed fall beneath both. I didn’t find the characters as compelling some really needed more development, and the twists weren’t as blindsiding.Nevertheless the book was enjoyable and the ending was gratifying.
I don’t know exactly why the other two reviewers slammed the narrator, she has done better male voices and general narration in the other books overall. But I find her voice perfectly understandable nor annoying even through her heavy accent.

Interesting Book

Although it’s nothing to write home about. The narrator’s voice is beyond annoying. I finished it out of spite; and while it ties up everything nicely, I can easily say I would never voluntarily listen to this narrator again.

Loves to read and listen ,

Apples never fall

I would love to actually understand what the narrator is saying but she speaks at warp speed. Even with air pods she must cover 10 pages in a minute. Out of 20 + dollars and very frustrated!!!
