Big Little Lies
By Liane Moriarty
Review by Susie Voth
Liane Moriarty is my current
favorite author. I have read and
enjoyed many of her books. “Big
Little Lies” is no exception.
There has been a murder at
Pirriwee Public School. The
reader knows this fact from the
onset of the book. Who is killed
and how the person died is a
mystery. Moriarty is a gardener
who scrupulously tends to when
and where clues will be planted.
Chapters begin and/or end
with interviews. The police are
talking to local community
members about the events lead-
ing up to the murder.
Pay attention, there is a huge
cast of characters and some of
this information may seem irrel-
evant — but it is not.
Three women, Madeline,
Celeste and Jane, are not inter-
viewed. They hold the keys to
this unfolding mystery. Their
intersecting stories make up the
bulk of the book.
Madeline is a flashy dresser,
and the flash carries over into
her personality. When she is
“PMS-ing,” the flash turns into
flames. She stands up for her
friends in her designer stiletto
heels. “Oh, calamity!”
Celeste is head-turningly
beautiful even though she dress-
es down and doesn’t use cosmet-
ics of any sort. She married the
extremely wealthy Perry and
they live in a million-dollar man-
sion with their twin sons. Why
then is she always flustered and
hesitant?
Jane and her son Ziggy recent-
ly moved to Pirriwee. Jane is so
young that at kindergarten orien-
tation, one of the other mothers
mistook her for a nanny. Jane’s
life is a bit rough but she is tough
and there is nothing she will not
do for her son.
I have both read and listened
to this witty, engaging book. The
audiobook is narrated by
Caroline Lee. Her reading is
impeccable, the perfect tone for
the many characters.

Call me now to see how I can help
you and your family get better life
coverage.
On May 21, 1998, an
expelled student walked onto
the campus of Springfield’s
Thurston High School with
three guns. In a five-minute
period he fired off hundreds of
rounds, killing one and
wounding 23 others. One of
those injured died later. The
night before, the 16-year-old
had also murdered his parents
in their home.
One of the students who
suffered a serious head wound
in the Thurston attack was
Teresa Miltonberger.
Doctors did not think she
would survive, but just over
two months after the shooting,
she was released from the hos-
pital and headed home.
It wasn’t over for her and
her family. Her parents grew
up in Florence, and have since
retired here. They and Teresa
are still dealing with the trau-
ma of that day, 17 years later.
Bill Miltonberger, Teresa’s
dad, will talk about what’s
ahead for the family and
friends of the nine people who
were killed last week by a
gunman on the campus of
Umpqua Community College
in Roseburg.
Miltonberger and former
KEZI 9 anchor Rick Dancer,
who covered the Thurston
shooting in detail, will join
host Bob Sneddon on this
