I really liked Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers by Lianne Moriarty so I thought I would enjoy Apples Never Fall too. I enjoyed reading about the Delaney family who ran a tennis school in Sydney, Australia. Their four children all played tennis very well but did not stick with the sport after high school. Now they are all grown up. The parents have sold the tennis school business and are adjusting to retirement. Suddenly the mother, Joy Delaney, goes missing. Throughout the story little clues are laid out in this very wordy book. A refrigerator magnet keeps falling off the fridge. The dog loves to eat paper. When the police investigate the disappearance of Joy, suspicion falls on her husband. The book was going along fine until the last three chapters when a curve ball was thrown into the mix. I really wish the story had ended three chapters sooner than it did.
