It should be the golden years for Stan and Joy Delaney now that they've sold their tennis academy and settled into retirement, so why aren't they happy? When they welcome a bleeding stranger into their home, her arrival begins a cascade of events. Now Joy is missing, and the four grown Delaney children wonder if their father might have done it.

I adored Liane Moriarty's latest domestic thriller. I was completely invested in the complicated relationships between the Delaney family members and did not see the big twist coming. However, I can understand why Apples Never Fall is getting mixed reviews. At almost 500 pages, the story is longer than it needed to be, especially the excessive denouement, and if you don't like the twist or the characters, you'll feel like you wasted a big chunk of your time.
