Daisy Darker (AUTHOR: Alice Feeney)
🌟 Daisy Darker
The Darker family reunites on Nana's eightieth birthday at her crumbling gothic island home. When the tide cuts them off from the world, Nana is found dead at midnight — and the killer begins picking off family members one by one.
Trapped for eight hours with a murderer among them, each family member carries buried secrets. As bodies accumulate and the storm rages, the survivors must uncover the truth before the tide returns and everything is finally, devastatingly revealed.
When the tide comes in, they will be cut off from the rest of the world.— Alice Feeney
Daisy Darker plunges readers into a claustrophobic gothic nightmare where family secrets, a raging storm, and a relentless killer converge on a tidal island. A bold homage to Agatha Christie, it delivers shocking twists to the very last page.
A clever homage to Agatha Christie that delivers satisfying twists, though some readers may find the pacing uneven. The tidal island setting is genuinely atmospheric, and the finale lands with real impact. Feeney clearly loves the genre she's playing in.
