8.14.2022 - Daisy Darker

 Daisy Darker by Alice Feeney

Many thanks to NetGalley, Flatiron Books and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the latest thriller by the wonderful Alice Feeney, wonderfully narrated by Stephanie Racine - 5 stars!

Daisy Darker's entire family is assembling for her Nana's 80th birthday at her gothic manor located on a tidal island.  Once the family assembles and the tide comes in, it will be 8 hours before they can leave.  The family arrives - Nancy (never called Mom), their father, the three Darker sisters (Rose, Lily and Daisy), their niece, and family friend, Connor.  But by the time the first of Nana's 80 clocks strikes midnight, Nana is dead.  An hour later, another family member is also dead.

I was so thrilled to get lost in another Alice Feeney world - and this one was fabulous!  I love a good locked room mystery, where the atmosphere is tense and a part of the plot, and everyone is suspect.  Everyone is holding on to secrets from their past as well as a whole lot of family dysfunction.  Clear your calendar and do not miss this book!
