As a complete Moriarty newbie, is there a specific title that best showcases her addictive, twisty domestic suspense style before diving into her entire backlist?

The Christmas-themed short story anthology 'The Last Anniversary' came from? Actually, wait, no, that's not right. I'm mixing things up. Ignore me, my memory is fuzzy on her short fiction. Back to the main topic—order doesn't matter much!

I found the community bulletin board chapters in 'Big Little Lies' hilarious and genius. Those little snippets of suburban life are a unique formatting quirk. If you enjoy books that play with form and include 'found documents' like emails, notices, or interview snippets, that book uses it perfectly. It's not a major thing, but it's a little extra layer of enjoyment that makes the start memorable.

The audiobook of 'Nine Perfect Strasses' is next-level because of the multiple narrators for the different guests at the retreat. If you're an audiobook person, that production might be the most immersive and entertaining start. It feels like a radio play. Format can genuinely influence which book makes the best introduction. A mediocre book can be saved by a great narrator, but a great book can be elevated to sublime. Check which productions have the best reviews on Audible.

Can we talk about the adaptations for a sec? My path was watching the 'Big Little Lies' series first, being blown away, and then reading the book. It was fascinating to see what was added and changed. Then I read 'Nine Perfect Strangers' before the Hulu show, which was a different experience. So your starting point could be media-adjacent. If you love book-to-screen analysis, start with the book of whatever adaptation you're most curious about. It gives you a fun, meta layer to your reading as you compare notes. The 'Big Little Lies' book is quite different in tone and detail from the show, which makes for rich discussion.

Where should I start reading Liane Moriarty books?

Don't overthink it. Her books are popular because they're accessible and addictive. 'The Husband's Secret' has the most 'I need to know what happens next' momentum from page one, in my opinion. It's a one-sitting kind of book if you have the time.

Which Liane Moriarty book should I start with and what comes next

Her books are like potato chips—you can't read just one. So honestly, the order doesn't matter much because you'll likely binge them all once you start. Just grab the one whose cover you like or whose title intrigues you. The through-line is her witty, observational writing and her knack for creating 'what if' scenarios that feel both outrageous and completely plausible. You'll get that from any starting point.

If you're someone who likes to see an author's craft improve, go chronological. 'Three Wishes' (2003) is good, but you can tell she's finding her feet. By the time you get to 'Big Little Lies' (2014), the plotting is incredibly tight, and the social observations are razor-sharp. The journey is part of the fun. You watch her move from more straightforward chick-lit adjacent stories to these intricate, multi-POV societal dissections. It’s a masterclass in career development. Just be prepared that the first couple are lighter—not worse, just different in scope and ambition.

Has anyone else found that the ‘less popular’ ones randomly become their favorite? Everyone raves about 'Big Little Lies', but 'Three Wishes', her first, is so raw and funny about sister dynamics. It doesn’t have the tightest plot, but the heart is huge. Sometimes reading an author’s debut last lets you appreciate their growth. Sometimes reading it first lets you fall for their potential. There’s no wrong path, only different kinds of appreciation. I’d almost recommend leaving one of the mega-hits for the middle, as a palate cleanser between the deeper cuts.

Don’t stress too much about a strict order, honestly. They’re all standalone, so you can jump in anywhere. But if you’re a completionist, the publication sequence is: 'Three Wishes', 'The Last Anniversary', 'What Alice Forgot', 'The Hypnotist’s Love Story', 'Big Little Lies', 'Truly Madly Guilty', 'Nine Perfect Strangers', 'Apples Never Fall', and 'The Last Resort'. I’d argue starting with 'Big Little Lies' isn’t a bad idea—it’s the gateway drug for most of us. You can always circle back to the earlier ones later.

Wait, did I miss an easter egg? Does a character from 'The Last Anniversary' show up as a background nurse in 'Big Little Lies'? No? Then we're done here. Release order. Next question.

What is the publication order of all Liane Moriarty books?

My hot take: 'The Last Anniversary' is better than 'Truly Madly Guilty.' There, I said it. Publication order doesn't equate to quality order. Sometimes an author's fifth book is weaker than their second. It happens.

I read 'The Last Anniversary' first by accident. It was on a sale table. I loved its quirky mystery about a forgotten baby on an island. Then I discovered she wrote 'Big Little Lies' and was shocked it was the same author. Her range is broader than people think. Reading out of order can give you those fun surprises.

How do I read Liane Moriarty books in chronological order

The audiobook narrator, Caroline Lee, adds so much. If you're going in order, you'll hear her narration grow more confident alongside the writing. It's a cool synergy. By 'Big Little Lies', she's performing the heck out of those courtroom interludes and kid dialogues. A unique way to experience the chronology.

My friend made a spreadsheet ranking them by 'spiciness' of the secret, which is hilarious but kinda useful. 'The Husband's Secret' is obviously a 10/10 on the secret scale. 'What Alice Forgot' is more like a 6—the secret is from the protagonist herself. Choose your desired level of scandal.
