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 readers reeling.

I absolutely LOVED this book with my whole heart from start to finish! (As expected with an Alice Feeney book lol) Here are my thoughts!
✰ I genuinely loved all of the twists & didn't predict any of them! Which is rare for me as an avid thriller reader!
✰ This story was so beautiful & I couldn't put it down (literally read for 3 hours today bc I knew I needed to finish it to see what happens!)
✰ Definitely one of my favs for this year, possibly ever tbh
✰ I know I won't stop thinking about this story for such a long time
I can't wait for Alice's new release, & if you haven't read an Alice Feeney book by now GO READ ONE NOW (preferably this one lol)
0I enjoyed this, it was easy enough to listen to. I don’t know if I felt disconnected from it because I was listening, or because of the book itself. I found little details to be repetitive. How many times do we need to be reminded that Rose is a vet? That Daisy volunteers at the old folks’ home? It just felt like so many bits of information were repeated. That’s not to say they weren’t important to the twist in the story, but the twist was underwhelming and in my opinion, the end of the story fell a tad flat until another little surprise added some last-minute interest. Overall it was good, but not my favorite classic whodunit a la “And Then There Were None.” For me, it lacked some of the complexity and careful weaving of details that I appreciated in “The Guest List.” I think it could have done with a little more subtlety.
