([lianemoriarty.com.au](https://lianemoriarty.com.au/books/?utm_source=openai))  \nSome of her key, full-length novels include:\n\n- Three Wishes (her debut novel) ([collider.com](https://collider.com/liane-moriarty-books-ranked-goodreads/?utm_source=openai))  \n- The Last Anniversary ([collider.com](https://collider.com/liane-moriarty-books-ranked-goodreads/?utm_source=openai))  \n- What Alice Forgot ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_Alice_Forgot?utm_source=openai))  \n- The Hypnotist\u2019s Love Story ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hypnotist%27s_Love_Story?utm_source=openai))  \n- Big Little Lies ([fr.wikipedia.org](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petits_secrets%2C_grands_mensonges_%28roman%29?utm_source=openai))  \n- The Husband\u2019s Secret ([ereads.com](https://www.ereads.com/liane-moriarty/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Truly Madly Guilty ([readings.com.au](https://www.readings.com.au/news/every-liane-moriarty-novel-ranked-by-its-secrets?utm_source=openai))  \n- Nine Perfect Strangers ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine_Perfect_Strangers?utm_source=openai))  \n- Apples Never Fall ([abc.net.au](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-09-04/liane-moriarty-author-books-apples-never-fall-big-little-lies/101395312?utm_source=openai))  \n- Here One Moment (2024) ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_One_Moment?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Are They Short Reads or Full-length?\n\nNearly all of Moriarty\u2019s adult books are full-length novels. They typically span 400-500 pages, have multiple intersecting storylines, deep character development, and a substantial plot arc. For example, *What Alice Forgot* is 544 pages. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_Alice_Forgot?utm_source=openai))\n\nShe *did* write short stories occasionally (e.g. \u201cMothers\u2019 Group\u201d), especially when experimenting or playing with ideas. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/biglittlelies/comments/j596sr?utm_source=openai)) But those are the exception, not the rule.\n\nAlso, inspired by a short phrase from her sister, she began writing what she intended as a short story; that fragment ultimately became the opening of her novel *Apples Never Fall*. ([abc.net.au](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-09-04/liane-moriarty-author-books-apples-never-fall-big-little-lies/101395312?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Summary\n\n- **Yes**\u2014Liane Moriarty has written many well-known, full-length novels.\n- **No**, most of her works are *not* short reads; her adult titles are substantial books.\n- She does also have a few children\u2019s books in the *Space Brigade* series (geared to ages 7-12) which are shorter and more adventure/fantasy focused. ([lianemoriarty.com.au](https://lianemoriarty.com.au/childrens-books/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can pull together a list of her shorter works (short stories, novellas, etc.) so you can sample something quicker before diving into a full-novel?"

Moriarty\u2019s writing often falls into this category. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liane_Moriarty?utm_source=openai))  \n- Sexual content: could include romantic relationships, mentions of sex, sometimes more explicit scenes\u2014but for Moriarty, it\u2019s typically not graphic or focused on erotic detail. It\u2019s more about relationships and intimacy as part of adult life. (Most reviews don\u2019t flag her works as having strong sexual content.)  \n\nSo yes: when I say \u201cadult\u201d in the case of Moriarty, I mean \u201cmature themes / adult life,\u201d not necessarily explicit sexual content.\n\n---\n\n### What to Expect in Liane Moriarty\u2019s Novels\n\n- They often center on middle- or upper-middle-class adults, many women, and interpersonal relationships (marriages, parenthood, friendships). ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liane_Moriarty?utm_source=openai))  \n- There\u2019s usually a mystery, dramatic twist, or some hidden secret in the plot. ([washingtonpost.com](https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/books/liane-moriarty-writes-womens-fiction-have-a-problem-with-that-she-doesnt/2021/09/09/341ecf80-0b2d-11ec-aea1-42a8138f132a_story.html?utm_source=openai))  \n- She handles serious topics: grief, personal trauma, infertility, abuse, mental health. But she balances them with humor, warmth, and vivid character moments. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liane_Moriarty?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### Which Book to Start With?\n\nHere are a few good jumping-in points, depending on what you want:\n\n| If you want... | Recommended Book | Why It\u2019s a Good Start |\n|---|---|---|\n| Lighter themes, more character & emotion, less mystery | *What Alice Forgot* | It deals with memory, change, who we become. More of a personal/emotional ride than a big mystery. ([themarysue.com](https://www.themarysue.com/best-books-author-liane-moriarty/?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Strong mystery element plus relationships | *The Husband\u2019s Secret* | Lots of suspense and questions; also strong focus on marriage, secrets, and coping. |\n| Popular, cultural hit, really engaging cast | *Big Little Lies* | Very well known; explores family, parenting, rivalry, dark pasts. Good if you want something buzz-worthy. |\n| Something recent | *Apples Never Fall* | Published not too long ago; deals with adult children, disappearance, family secrets. ([washingtonpost.com](https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/books/liane-moriarty-writes-womens-fiction-have-a-problem-with-that-she-doesnt/2021/09/09/341ecf80-0b2d-11ec-aea1-42a8138f132a_story.html?utm_source=openai)) |\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me what mood you want (light and funny, mystery, emotional, etc.), I can pick out one for you to start with that matches what you\u2019ll like best."
