"On the surface they seemed loving and cheerful but she could sense dysfunction bubbling ominously beneath their sporty, matter-of-fact demeanours."

Liane Moriarty uses a character in her book to perfectly capture how the reader will be feeling about the family in Apples Never Fall. This latest masterpiece revolves around a retired couple, their 4 adult children still struggling with sibling rivalry, a mysterious houseguest, and so much tennis. She weaves a complex web of misunderstood family members and their history, with a creepy suburban vibe common in contemporary Australian literature.

Moriarty writes books so full of tantalizing nuggets and teasing clues that I have to race through the pages to the end. I can't not keep reading. She gets me with every secret and I gasp more than once with each one. Another gem from a brilliant storyteller!

Thank you to NetGalley and Pan Macmillan Australia for the opportunity to read this book.
