Book Club: Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty

“If three characters were good in Big Little Lies, nine are even better in Nine Perfect Strangers.” ―Lisa Scottoline, The New York Times Book Review

Liane Moriarty's latest offering is a hugely enjoyable psychological thriller that is pure fun and entertainment as it digs beyond the facade of a wide cast of characters.  Nine strangers arrive at Tranquillem House for a 10 day health and welness retreat that clients swear can transforms lives...but they're about to get considerably more than they bargained for. Its owner, Russian Masha, is a ruthlessly ambitious former company executive with a dark and hidden agenda, assisted by staffers Yao, and Delilah. There's twice married Frances Welty, an established writer of romances whose career has gone into freefall. Ben and Jessica, a troubled married couple who appear to be remarkably well off. Napoleon, a schoolteacher, with his wife, Heather, and daughter, Zoe, the entire family weighed down by grief and guilt. Tony is a former star footballer, who has recently lost his beloved dog, Banjo. Carmel has lost her husband, has four children, and has lost her self esteem and confidence. Lars is a well heeled divorce lawyer, who only represents wives in his word of mouth law practice. Combining all of the hallmarks that have made her writing a go-to for anyone looking for wickedly smart, page-turning fiction that will make you laugh and gasp, Liane Moriarty’s Nine Perfect Strangers once again shows why she is a master of her craft.
