Liane Moriarty is a famous author in Australia and I like her too. This time I read Truly Madly Guilty which is a novel about 3 couples and 3 children who attend a summer barbeque. Something happens at this barbeque. Every chapter talks about what happened at the barbeque. The author makes you wait a long time to find out what happened at the barbeque which was annoying. The book is more than what happened at the barbeque. The story is about the people who were there. The barbeque takes place on a cul-de-sac neighborhood. At the end of the cul-de-sac is a crochety old man who lives alone. His name is Harry. He is rude to most neighbors. Harry is the kind of guy who would call the police if he thought your music was too loud. In the end though, this grumpy old guy is the hero of the story and I thought that was very clever of the author to do.
