The New York Times bestselling Queen of Twists returns…with a family reunion that leads to murder.
After years of avoiding each other, Daisy Darker’s entire family is assembling for Nana’s 80th birthday party in Nana’s crumbling gothic house on a tiny tidal island. Finally back together one last time, when the tide comes in, they will be cut off from the rest of the world for eight hours.
The family arrives, each of them harboring secrets. Then 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 comes in and all is revealed.
With a wicked wink to Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None, Daisy Darker’s unforgettable twists will leave listeners reeling.
“Wow! Echoes of Christie's And Then There Were None but turned into something wonderfully original and wrapped in a genuinely creepy dysfunctional family fairy-tale of a novel, this takes Feeney to the next level. I LOVED IT!”
—Sarah Pinborough, bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes and Insomnia

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Author Alice Feeney has written an evocative riff on the classic old-school locked-room mystery. Nana, the matriarch of the dysfunctional Darker family, has invited the entire clan to her extra-gothic island mansion off the coast of Cornwall to celebrate her 80th and potentially last birthday. Strike that “potentially,” because at the stroke of midnight, her lifeless body is found. And every hour after that, another member of the family meets their end. Meanwhile, the Darkers’ youngest child, Daisy, muses on her unhappy childhood and how all of her family ended up so broken. A combination of Agatha Christie and modern psychological thrillers, this is chilling, dark fun, and Stephanie Racine’s wryly prim-sounding narration is a perfect twist.

Wow
This was my first Alicia Feeny book and it was amazing. So moving and beautifully written. I cried reading the first page and cried reading the last few chapters. The book was very long but worth the read.
Couldn’t stop reading
Shockingly entertaining and surprising ending!
