A BOOK OF THE MONTH PICK

A family reunion. An isolated island. A deadly storm. And a murderer hiding among them.

From New York Times bestselling author Alice Feeney comes Daisy Darker, a deliciously twisted psychological thriller filled with family secrets, shocking betrayals, and a murder mystery that will keep you guessing until the very last page.

Daisy Darker was born with a broken heart.

After years of avoiding one another, the members of the Darker family are finally gathering for Nana's 80th birthday.

The celebration takes place at Seaglass, Nana's crumbling gothic home perched on a tiny tidal island off the English coast.

It's the perfect setting for a family reunion.

Or a murder.

The Darkers have never been a particularly happy family.

Old resentments run deep.

Relationships are strained.

And every family member arrives carrying secrets they'd rather keep buried.

But when the tide rises, the island becomes completely cut off from the mainland.

For eight long hours, there is no way to leave.

Then, at the stroke of midnight, a violent storm begins raging outside.

And Nana is found dead.

An hour later, another family member dies.

Suddenly, the birthday celebration has become a terrifying fight for survival.

Someone on the island is a murderer.

Someone knows exactly what happened in the family's past.

And someone is determined to make sure those secrets never leave Seaglass.

As the night unfolds, the surviving family members are forced to confront decades of lies, betrayals, jealousy, and resentment.

But with the tide still high and the storm raging, escape is impossible.

The killer is among them.

And the clock is ticking.

Can Daisy uncover the truth before everyone is dead?

Or will the family's darkest secrets remain buried forever?

DAISY DARKER is a brilliantly plotted, atmospheric psychological thriller inspired by the classic locked-room mysteries of Agatha Christie.

With its isolated setting, deeply dysfunctional family, and Alice Feeney's signature shocking twists, this is a suspenseful page-turner you won't want to put down.

Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Lisa Jewell, Ruth Ware, and Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None.
