![]() ![]() How someone can hear a casual remark made by a family member and seethe about it for decades. It’s a story about a large family (parents and four grown children) and does a great job of showing how complicated both romantic and family relationships are. Nevertheless, I still really enjoyed the family drama/mystery and wasn’t overly upset that it was less. I’m not sure if this is a regular Liane Moriarty thing, or if Apples Never Fall just came off differently than expected. ![]() The Delaneys are more than happy to give her the small kindness she sorely needs. I think that Apples Never Fall was true to form. As mentioned earlier, I did go into this thinking it was going to be more of a thriller, which it was not at all. 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. 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. This is the dilemma facing the four grown Delaney siblings. If your mother was missing, would you tell the police? Even if the most obvious suspect was your father? ![]() The Delaney family love one another dearly-it’s just that sometimes they want to murder each other. ![]()
