APPLES NEVER FALL

The Delaneys are not an ordinary family, and Joy and Stan, well-respected retired tennis coaches and parents of four near-pros, find themselves immersed in the mystery of a lifetime. Australian narrator Caroline Lee is an amazing performer who digs so deeply into her characters' personas that listeners will become addicted to each witty, insightful, and gutsy one. Lee's captivating dialogue reveals Joy's frustration with her adult children, her husband's lament for what could have been, and the tedium of retirement, setting the stage for uncharacteristic behavior. Chaos strikes when Joy and Stan's boredom leads to a random knock on their door, and the diabolical Savannah enters, ultimately causing the Delaney family to search for their missing mother while facing their imperfections and interrelationships.
