NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, now a Hulu original series

“If three characters were good in Big Little Lies, nine are even better in Nine Perfect Strangers.” —Lisa Scottoline, The New York Times Book Review

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Big Little Lies

Could ten days at a health resort really change you forever? In Liane Moriarty’s latest page-turner, nine perfect strangers are about to find out...

Nine people gather at a remote health resort. Some are here to lose weight, some are here to get a reboot on life, some are here for reasons they can’t even admit to themselves. Amidst all of the luxury and pampering, the mindfulness and meditation, they know these ten days might involve some real work. But none of them could imagine just how challenging the next ten days are going to be.

Frances Welty, the formerly best-selling romantic novelist, arrives at Tranquillum House nursing a bad back, a broken heart, and an exquisitely painful paper cut. She’s immediately intrigued by her fellow guests. Most of them don’t look to be in need of a health resort at all. But the person that intrigues her most is the strange and charismatic owner/director of Tranquillum House. Could this person really have the answers Frances didn’t even know she was seeking? Should Frances put aside her doubts and immerse herself in everything Tranquillum House has to offer – or should she run while she still can?

It’s not long before every guest at Tranquillum House is asking exactly the same question.

Combining all of the hallmarks that have made her writing a go-to for anyone looking for wickedly smart, page-turning fiction that will make you laugh and gasp, Liane Moriarty’s Nine Perfect Strangers once again shows why she is a master of her craft.

What the critics say

"The bestselling author of Big Little Lies is back with another twisty, turny, and smart piece of fiction." - BookRiot

"[Narrator] Caroline Lee's animated performance...is especially memorable. Listeners will be hooked as the retreat begins to unravel." -AudioFile

"The interwoven stories of a group of guests at a health resort in Southeast Australia are delightfully narrated by Melbourne performer Caroline Lee, who never falters in her characterizations of this varied cast of characters and who works in concert with the author to imbue them with vivid personalities and intriguing interactions." — SoundCommentary

Did not enjoy Caroline Lee’s voice. It is but my personal opinion. Funky story line but I lost interest. Would like to read the book.

I enjoyed listening to this book in the car and it kept me wanting to hear more. It may have become a little far fetched towards the end but I quite liked the bool overall.

entertaining!

I generally like Liane Moriarty's writing, but I get distracted when someone hasn't done basic research on an element of a story... in this case it's minor, but still... having one character with a history of learning TM meditation practice, who then according to what she says about it at various points, clearly has never had the most basic introduction to this form of meditation. It decreased my trust that the author does appropriate research before writing. What, after all, is more basic than meditation for a retreat storyline? She could have just talked generally about meditation. But if a specific kind (of anything) is mentioned, please know the absolute basics of what it is about.

I have enjoyed every book by this author and I was so disappointed with this book. First off it was way too long. I fast forwarded about 3 hours of the book and really missed nothing. The story line quite frankly was silly and completely not believable.
I would say if there is an abridged version would be a bettter bet.

Very disappointing ...

I am a big Liane Moriarty fan; what Alice Forgot is one of my favorite books and have listened to many novels narrated by Caroline Lee and again, very much enjoy her tone. I was a bit nervous upon starting this book due to some of the reviews but the history of Ms. Moriarty’s past novels won over and I am so glad I did! The characters were intriguing and the struggles and flaws were developed in a slow burn. The story took a bit of a twist late in the book which lended to the “psychological thriller” tag. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and would recommend it !

Great book!
