Spanning 464 pages, this book weighs in at 635 grams and delivers a deeply immersive reading experience.

"Apples Never Fall" has garnered significant praise for its intricate plot, relatable characters, and Moriarty's signature blend of wit, suspense, and poignant observations on family dynamics. The Delaneys, Joy and Stan, are former tennis coaches who, after years of running a successful tennis academy, have finally sold their business and are ready to embrace a life of leisure. To the outside world, they are the epitome of a contented couple, still competitive and passionate even after decades together. Their four adult children are all carving out their own paths, though perhaps not quite reaching the heights their parents envisioned.

As the police investigate, the Delaney children are forced to confront uncomfortable truths about their parents' marriage and their own family history. Old resentments and long-held secrets surface, casting a shadow of suspicion over everyone. Was Joy's disappearance connected to the enigmatic houseguest who stayed with the Delaneys the previous year, a young woman seeking refuge and offering help around the house? Or were the cracks in the Delaney family foundation far deeper than anyone realized? "Apples Never Fall" is a masterclass in suspenseful storytelling. Moriarty expertly weaves together multiple perspectives, gradually revealing the complexities of each character and the intricate web of relationships that bind them.
