About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The Sunday Times best seller from the worldwide best-selling author of Amazon Prime's Nine Perfect Strangers and the Emmy and Golden Globe-winning HBO series Big Little Lies.

The Delaney family love one another dearly - it's just that sometimes they want to murder each other....

Joy Delaney and husband Stan have done well. Four wonderful grown-up children. A family business to envy. The golden years of retirement ahead of them.

So when Joy Delaney vanishes - no note, no calls, her bike missing - it's natural that tongues will wag.

How did Stan scratch his face? And who was the stranger who entered and suddenly left their lives? What are they all hiding?

But for the Delaney children there is a much more terrifying question: did they ever know their parents at all?

Apples Never Fall has been optioned for TV by Heyday Television.

Critic reviews

"A tour-de-force of a novel; brilliantly plotted and superbly written.... The tension builds to a conclusion alive with ingenious twists. Smart, sharp and utterly riveting." (Daily Mail)

"Utterly and completely wonderful. I've loved all of Liane's books but Apples Never Fall is next-level writing: an intelligent, forensic portrait of a family." (Marian Keyes)

"A fantastic storyteller. Apples Never Fall is gripping, getting to the dark underbelly of a seemingly perfect family. A cracking read." (Lorraine Kelly, ITV)

Enjoyed this so much! The characterisation and relationships were stunning, believable
relatable and hugely complemented by quality narration. The light and dark in the story made for a smashing listen. Contemporary (listened 2021) to me born in 1971 and my new favourite work of Liane Moriarty.

As always with Liane Moriarty's books you are taken on an extraordinary journey. Nothing is straightforward, nothing is obvious or what it seems at first glance. The lines of the characters ordinary lives are intertwined in an unexpected way we all got used to in Liane's books. You can never ever guess the next turn in the journey.
The Apples Never Fall is nothing less than what we got used to from the author. Absolutely brilliant storytelling with the greatest, wittiest detailing.
The narration from Caroline Lee is flawless and nothing short of excellent.
Honestly, Liane's books are kind of a soulfood- should be available from your GP! Luckily it is available in the shops!
Cannot wait for the next book! Xx

As brilliant as ever, both the story and narration

Liane Moriarty is one of my favourite authors and this is maybe her best book yet. 18 hours of listening was not a minute too long.

Loved every minute

I’m struggling to continue listing to this as the narrators voice is very annoying and nasally which is a shame

Narrators voice is grating

I enjoyed this very clever book about relationships, life, happiness, sadness & of course Tennis.
Such an ingenious book. The characters were brilliant. I am definitely a much older version of Amy!! I laughed out loud sometimes, it also brought me to tears. Liane is my new favourite, Love the narrator (bit dodgy Irish accent) but would still rate her above average.

Such a refreshing read.
