The apple never falls far from the tree, according to the proverb that gives Peacock’s new domestic thriller its title. But if the tree is Big Little Lies—both shows are based on best-selling mystery novels by Liane Moriarty—then Apples Never Fall, which will stream in full beginning March 14, has rolled quite a distance downhill from whence it dropped.

GREAT SON—Edna Ferber—Doubleday, Doran ($2.50). If, as Edna Ferber once remarked, “writing a novel is like plodding along a dirt road ankle deep in mud,” she is easily one of the world’s most determined plodders.
