The Delaney family has always been at the center of the small coastal town of Mount Eliza, Australia. Joy Delaney is a pillar of the community, the kind of woman who always has a warm smile and a kind word for everyone. Her husband, Stan, is a former tennis pro who now runs a successful sporting goods store. Their four children are all grown up and have started families of their own.
But everything changes when Joy disappears. Without a trace, one morning. The police are baffled, and the Delaneys are left reeling. As the days and weeks go by, cracks begin to appear in the family's seemingly perfect facade. Secrets are revealed, old wounds are reopened, and long-held grudges come to the surface.

Apples Never Fall is a gripping and thought-provoking story about the complexities of family, the nature of truth, and the secrets we keep from ourselves and those we love.
Moriarty's latest novel is sure to be a hit with fans of her previous books, as well as readers who enjoy well-written and suspenseful domestic dramas. Apples Never Fall is a powerful reminder that even the most seemingly perfect families have their secrets.
