Publisher's Summary

"Stephanie Racine's talented narration helps create an atmospheric backdrop for this dark mystery."- AudioFile

This program is read by longtime narrator Stephanie Racine who has voiced numerous New York Times, U.S. and U.K. bestselling audiobooks.


Author Alice Feeney reads the acknowledgments on this program.

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 listeners reeling.

“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. I LOVED IT!”
—Sarah Pinborough, bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes and Insomnia

Don’t wanna accidentally write spoilers, so I’ll just say: REALLY excellent book (characterization, dialogue, plot, etc.), with great narration :-)

Finally, the perfect murder mystery book

This book is what I'm wishing and hoping for every time I start listening to a new one. Big old house, isolation, a storm, actual clues, evidentiary minutiae. I can't remember the last time all my boxes were checked like this, and I'm REALLY hoping other writers in the genre look to Daisy Darker as the new benchmark for murder mysteries. Agatha would be proud.

Best Audio Book

I can’t recommend this audible selection highly enough. The plot and performances kept me hooked. I couldn’t stop listening!! It’s hard to review this work without giving away spoilers, so I won’t. I’ve read some very critical
Reviews, but if you’re a fan of closed-room mysteries in the Agatha Christie tradition, you’ll enjoy this!
