Her heroines are usually middle- to upper-middle class women dealing with the small indignities of suburban life (gossipy neighbors, ungrateful children) while navigating the darker chasms (abusive husbands, infertility) lurking beneath the bright, charmed surface. Moriarty also has a sharp ear for the way people of all ages and temperaments talk and a keen sense of what that talk does and does not reveal. Readers and movie stars alike cannot get enough of Moriarty and her addictive novels, which explore the secrets of suburbia with wit, empathy and enough plot twists to have Alfred Hitchcock applauding from the grave.
