Two of the children believe their father could never do something so monstrous, but two believe there’s a dark side of their father at work that everyone has always ignored. But when Joy Delaney goes missing and all signs point to Stan, fractures begin to form in the Delaney family. Undeniable chemistry, an illustrious professional partnership in tennis that both supports and accentuates their personal relationship, and four strong and independent children who’ve grown up to be adults who make them proud. To some, Stan and Joy Delaney seem the perfect couple. Thankfully, this book did not disappoint on that level. I especially like the way she builds complex characters that are both relatable and intriguing. While some of her books I didn’t like as much as others, there hasn’t been one I didn’t enjoy at least on some level. Moriarty manages to deliver effortlessly every time.
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.This was probably my most anticipated book of 2021. But for someone who claims to be innocent, he, like many spouses, seems to have a lot to hide. Later, when Joy goes missing, and Savannah is nowhere to be found, the police question the one person who remains: Stan. The Delaneys are more than happy to give her the small kindness she sorely needs. One night a stranger named Savannah knocks on Stan and Joy’s door, bleeding after a fight with her boyfriend. But that’s okay, now that they’re all successful grown-ups and there is the wonderful possibility of grandchildren on the horizon. 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 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. They’re killers on the tennis court, and off it their chemistry is palpable. The parents, Stan and Joy, are the envy of all of their friends. The Delaneys are fixtures in their community. 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 Delaney family love one another dearly - it’s just that sometimes they want to murder each other. #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.
