Isolated on their private island in Cornwall, the Darker family have come together for the first time in over a decade. When the tide comes in, they'll be cut off from the rest of the world for eight hours. When the tide goes back out, nothing will ever be the same again. Nothing – because one of the family is a killer . . .
As the leaves of autumn fall, Daisy Darker arrives at her grandmother’s house for eightieth birthday celebrations. Seaglass, the Darker’s ancestral home, is a crumbling Cornish house perched upon its own tiny private island.
Every member of the family has their secrets. Nana, alone for so long. Daisy's absent father, Frank. Her cold-hearted mother, Nancy. Her siblings, Rose and Lily, and her niece, Trixie, full of questions and without a father of her own. Daisy has never had an easy relationship with her family, but some secrets are much darker than others. This will be a gathering that some of them won't remember.

Reviews
Daisy Darker is clever, compelling, confounding and absolutely delicious. Wow, I absolutely loved it. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. It was an absolute thrill Clever, sinister, claustrophobic, beguiling and utterly compelling. I was totally hooked from the first sentence. This book is all kinds of twisty, and it's SO much fun Daisy Darker is a first-rate, gripping thriller. Alice Feeney's gorgeous writing will sweep you up like a runaway train. Hold on for the ride! A sinisterly satisfying play on Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None. Alice Feeney is back with another gritty, twisty thriller that’s impossible to put down. Evocative prose, fully realized characters, and an intimate, insightful first-person narrative. Flashbacks add depth while expanding the suspect list, and twists abound. A dark, twisty tale about a dysfunctional family…Feeney’s nod to Agatha Christie’s classic mystery And Then There Were None adds a delightful twist to this quirky thriller. Aficionados of locked-room stories and family dramas (plus Feeney’s large fan base) will enjoy this highly recommended title. This is definitely Alice Feeney’s best yet with an ending that you will never see coming. You could not find a more perfect tribute to Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None. Looking for an eerie, atmospheric thriller set on a remote island, where a family reunion turns murderous? Told in hauntingly lyrical prose, this deliciously dark tale had me completely mesmerized. I loved Feeney’s clever twist on Christie’s And Then There Were None. So nuanced and cleverly written that once I’d read the last page I immediately had to go back and re-read the first. One minute my heart raced, the next it was breaking. Twisted, chilling, unpredictable and so vivid that I felt I was there with the family at Seaglass. DAISY DARKER, is a story I’ll never forget and Alice Feeney’s best book yet. Amazing! [Alice Feeney's] crowning achievement To say that Feeney breaks the rules of mystery-writing would be an understatement. Completely riveting If you like a novel with tons of delicious twists and secrets [then] Alice Feeney is an author you need to check out Deliciously clever With an overarching sense of doom and danger lurking at every turn, Feeney has created something both entirely creepy and completely riveting in Daisy Darker. I couldn't put it down! A thrilling locked room mystery.Daisy Darker is an astonishing book, packed with incredible characters and a lot of surprises. I devoured this in record time because I had to know what happened next. Alice Feeney is one of my absolute favourites.
Wow! Echoes of Christie's And Then There Were None but turned into something wonderfully original and wrapped in a genuinely creepy dysfunctional family fairy tale of a novel, this takes Feeney to the next level. LOVED IT! What a book! A dysfunctional family meets Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None with a truly gasp-inducing twist. Exceedingly clever, stylish and emotionally astute, your visit to Seaglass is one you won't soon forget. This is the book you've been looking for. So many nasty secrets. And that's before the bodies start to pile up! I've always been an Alice Feeney fan - but I think she's outdone herself with this startling murderfest!
