Blurb
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.
My Opinion
Some Secrets Can Kill You
Sometimes, I wonder what a good mystery and thriller should have? My answer would be " Daisy Darker". Be it the characters, the plot or the twists, everything was a blast. The plot absorbed me right away with the mysterious characters. I am, definitely, not going to feel the same way after reading this book. Full of twists and turns, the author hits the right note. The characters are mind blowing. My favorite character would be Nana, who plays a pivot role to give justice to her loved one. Praise is more but words are short.
Definitely, 5 stars for the book. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me with an opportunity to read and review the book.
