Daisy Darker is an all-consuming tale of psychological suspense with a spectacular twist from the internationally bestselling author Alice Feeney, inspired by Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None. 'Clever, compelling, confounding and absolutely delicious' - Lisa Jewell, bestselling author of None of This is True Isolated on their private island in Cornwall, the Darker family have come together for the first time in over a decade. When the tide comes in, they'll be cut off from the rest of the world for eight hours. When the tide goes back out, nothing will ever be the same again. Nothing - because one of the family is a killer . . . As the leaves of autumn fall, Daisy Darker arrives at her grandmother's house for eightieth birthday celebrations. Seaglass, the Darker's ancestral home, is a crumbling Cornish house perched upon its own tiny private island. Every member of the family has their secrets. Nana, alone for so long. Daisy's absent father, Frank. Her cold-hearted mother, Nancy. Her siblings, Rose and Lily, and her niece, Trixie, full of questions and without a father of her own. Daisy has never had an easy relationship with her family, but some secrets are much darker than others. This will be a gathering that some of them won't remember. 'I was on the edge of my seat the whole time' - Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of Daisy Jones and the Six

Tried a second Alice Feeney book because book club. I did like the modern Agatha Christie–style mystery, and it was a fun, quick read. I had many hypotheses I was cycling through. But it was a bit meandering and the ending just didn't work for me.

Beautifully written. Very poetic and thought-provoking descriptions. I wanted to highlight so many passages and I don’t even like marking in books! The story itself was as engaging and enjoyable as I’ve come to expect from Alice Feeney. Yet again, I didn’t see the end coming. I thought I had Feeney figured out after reading a couple others of hers and would be able to pin it all down correctly, but she still managed to surprise me with the kind of ending that had me going back through the chapters wondering how I could have missed the clues. Definitely a must read!

My least favorite read of the year. Comparing this book with Agatha Christie's book is a blasphemy. I was so angry when twist was revealed. I own some more books by this author, I am in no hurry to read them.Alice Feeney in a sense joins Ruth Ware,Lucy Foley and Riley Sager, my least favorite thriller authors.My favorites are Shari Lapena, B.A.Paris, Sally Hepworth and Shalini Boland.
