The lives of retired tennis coaches are upended upon the disappearance of the wife.ĭavid Heyman win the right to the novel in March 2021 to develop it for television. Wow, I could read out pages of Joy and defy any woman to say she hasn’t felt the same at some point in her life.Apples Never Fall is an upcoming mystery drama miniseries based on Liane Moriarty's novel of the same name. The sense of place is strong and even though there is a lot going on, Moriarty has written an intimate narrative of social and relationship enlightenment which got me recalling my own younger life, the missed cues and insights the older me now recognises.Īs the innermost workings of the Delaney family are laid bare, Moriarty’s writing transcends game, set and match, particularly relating to Joy and motherhood.

Liane Moriarty writes breathtaking dialogue and suspenseful moments leaving no stone unturned on this rocky domestic landscape. At times the plot framework showed, the screenwriting element intruded, and I did not particularly like the odd use of “Troy’s father” or “Amy’s mother” instead of their names but these are minor points the dialogue pulsates and glows. Seventy-one domestic drama chapters unfold in all their glory chapter 52 is cataclysmic, chapter 53 almost poetry. Character-wise I think son Logan is great, followed by unfathomable dad Stan. However, I am sure readers will recognise their fraternal traits as grown-ups. Perhaps an alert teacher could have helped. In the case of Savannah and the Delaney siblings Amy, Troy, Logan and Brooke, as youngsters they never seemed to trot off to school.

Sprinkled throughout the story are friends, neighbours and comic relief from police duo DC Christina Khoury and PC Ethan Lim who struggle with their missing person investigation. Husband Stan and deceptive Savannah are under suspicion, and here clues are planted, the trail of breadcrumbs laid for the observant reader. When matriarch Joy mysteriously disappears, the overarching plot hinges on “Joy, dead or alive?” and is set in present time with flashbacks.
