Daisy Darker

*INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*
"Alice Feeney is great with TWISTS and TURNS." —Harlan Coben


The NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR of Rock Paper Scissors returns with a locked-room mystery when a family reunion leads to murder in a delightfully twisty and atmospheric thriller, as seen on the TODAY show.

“A dysfunctional family meets Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None with a truly gasp-inducing twist. This is the book you've been looking for.” Catherine Ryan Howard, bestselling author of 56 Days

Daisy Darker was born with a broken heart. Now after years of avoiding each other, Daisy Darker’s entire family is assembling for Nana’s 80th birthday party in her crumbling gothic house on a tiny tidal island. The family arrives, each of them harboring secrets. When the tide comes in, they will be cut off from the rest of the world for eight hours.

But at the stroke of midnight, as a storm rages, Nana is found dead. And an hour later, the next family member follows…

Trapped on an island where someone is killing them one by one, the Darkers must reckon with their present mystery as well as their past secrets, before the tide goes out and all is revealed. As seen on the TODAY show and picked by Book of the Month, Daisy Darker's family secrets and Alice Feeney's trademark shocking twists will keep readers riveted.

I struggled with the first half of this book. I think it's meant to be descriptive or eccentric, but comes off as kind of wild or camp for me. Once the action started, I was all in until the end and enjoyed it!

Alice didn’t disappoint, I love her books! Having read a few of them now I knew to expect (and guessed) one of the twists early on but it didn’t spoil my reading I was just eager to know what happened so read the book quickly! There was of course another twist which was less expected and was fairly shocking but in keeping with the plot. I did find it took a while to get to the point and then finished fairly quickly but appreciated the different genre / book idea that Alice went with this time.

The ending was very shocking for me, but I like the twist. I think we could’ve done with less characters and more background of what led to the murders.
