Publisher’s Summary

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.

My Review

Daisy Darker is another book added to my favorites. Yes, the reviews are correct. Daisy Darker does resemble Agatha Christies “who done it” kind of thrill. I think the reason why it was compared to Agatha Christie’s book was because of the multiple characters and finding out who’s the killer, but Alice has done this before.

Which book? His & Hers is another great who-done-it kind of read. I would highly recommend it.

I enjoyed the build-up of the characters and getting to know the nitty-gritty details. The storyline was straightforward and a thrill in every sentence.

PS to this day I haven’t read an Agatha Christie book.
