The no. 1 New York Times bestseller from the author of The Husband's Secret

Soon to be an HBO television series starring Reese Witherspoon & Nicole Kidman

"Irresistible ...Moriarty's sly humor and razor-sharp insights will keep you turning the pages to find out." – People Magazine

The internationally bestselling author turns her unique gaze on the dangerous little lies we tell ourselves every day and what really goes on behind closed suburban doors.

'I guess it started with the mothers.'

'It was all just a terrible misunderstanding.'

'I'll tell you exactly why it happened.'

Pirriwee Public's annual school Trivia Night has ended in a shocking riot. A parent is dead. Was it murder, a tragic accident...or something else entirely?

Big Little Lies is a funny, heartbreaking, challenging story of ex-husbands and second wives, new friendships, old betrayals and schoolyard politics.

'Let me be clear. This is not a circus. This is a murder investigation.'
