From Little Stack
Looking for a mystery that feels deliciously claustrophobic, Daisy Darker by Alice Feeney is a wonderfully eerie locked-room thriller. The story gathers a deeply dysfunctional family at their grandmother’s gothic seaside mansion on a tiny tidal island.
Things turn deadly when the family matriarch is found murdered at midnight. Soon, more deaths follow, each linked to a haunting rhyme and long-buried family secrets. With the rising sea cutting them off for hours at a time, suspicion spreads like wildfire. Every creaking floorboard, every whispered conversation, and every shadowy corner of the house feels loaded with danger.
Blending gothic atmosphere with clever Christie-style plotting, Daisy Darker is a twisty, addictive read that keeps you guessing while trapping you inside one hauntingly memorable setting.
The NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR of Rock Paper Scissors returns with a locked-room mystery when a family reunion leads to murder in a delightfully twisty and atmospheric thriller.
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.
