A chilling, gothic-inspired thriller, Daisy Darker delivers a locked-room mystery reminiscent of Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None. Nana Darker has always known she wouldn’t live past 80, and as her family gathers at her secluded island home to celebrate her birthday, old tensions resurface. But when Nana is found dead at midnight—and another body turns up an hour later—it’s clear that someone among them has a deadly secret. With no way off the island until the tide recedes, the Darker family must survive the night while unraveling the killer’s clues. Alice Feeney masterfully weaves eerie poems, flashbacks, and unexpected twists into this atmospheric novel. While some readers may predict the ending, I found the journey gripping and unpredictable. If you love psychological thrillers with a classic murder-mystery feel, Daisy Darker is a must-read.
