2021 Washington Post Best Books of the Year
From Liane Moriarty, the number one New York Times best-selling 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 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 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.

"Audiobook narrator Caroline Lee’s voice is an irresistible, visceral joy; like the best audiobook narrators, her delivery is endlessly malleable, shifting nimbly across accent, register and tone to create a sense that one is inside the story rather than peering in from the outside." (Farhad Manjoo, The New York Times)
"[Lee] adds a crisp warmth that makes for an easy and absorbing listen." (Alan Rosenberg, The Providence Journal)
"Australian narrator Caroline Lee is an amazing performer who digs so deeply into her characters' personas that listeners will become addicted to each witty, insightful, and gutsy one." (AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award Winner)

Enjoyed the book but not the ending
Really well narrated and the story was intriguing, but the ending?! I listened at 1.1 speed and the last hour or so was anti-climatic. The whole book was far too long for such a blah ending.

excellent story
I loved the story and the characters. I was interesting how little details you hear along the way that don't seem important are all connected

Wanted to like it
There’s a great conflict buried in this story but buried is the key word. It takes forever. The story is slow. Wanted to like it.

Read it!
I loved this book - even the acknowledgements are worth listening to! Liane Moriarty never fails to entertain and enlighten me. I’ve read all of her books and this one is likely my favourite.

Thriller?
I guess this is mostly my fault… I had been listening to serious crime and thriller stories before moving on to this book that was also listed as a thriller. I was thrown off immediately due to the narration. I love the narrator’s voice but it sounded like we were starting a rom-com. The accent and quirkiness did not work for something termed “thriller”. The book was okay. Absolutely needs to be categorized differently. And the Covid stuff at the end really seemed like an add-on.

Wonderful Story!
Felt like a cute little beach read, ended up getting deep. I felt really invested in each character. Almost thought... well, no spoilers but I will say that I was not always expecting what happened next. And the ending!

A Good Read
As always the narration of Caroline Lee is superb. The story was full of twists and turns which made me keep listening intently. The anguish of families along with stalwart love is much needed at any time but seems particularly poignant right now. Loved it
