#1 New York Times Bestseller
**
From Liane Moriarty, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Big
Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers, comes Apples Never Fall, a
novel that looks at marriage, siblings, and how the people we love the
most can hurt us the deepest.**
The Delaney family love one another dearly--it'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 fifty 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.
