Topspin or Backspin

 Liane Moriarty's novel, "Apples Never Fall", is a mystery.  The mother, Joy is missing.  She is a good mom.  Who would have killed her--if that's what happened.  Two detectives are assigned to this missing person account.

      The detectives listen to the neighborhood's gossip.  They hear that Joy's family is very competitive which mean jealously might be a motive.  Joy and Stan were tennis instructors. Even Joy's hairdresser tells tales of Joy's relationship with her husband Stan.  And a neighbor's video camera shows Stan throwing something "body-size" in his trunk.  

      Then there's Savannah.  The poor girl who literally dropped in the front door, hurt and bleeding.  There's something about her that doesn't ring true.  

      The plot unravel the four adult children's lives.  What a family!  

      But what happened to Joy?

      Sorry.  No spoilers.
