Daisy Darker: A Gripping Psychological Thriller With a Killer Ending You'll Never Forget

Product Information

First of all, I hated all of the characters which is normally not a problem for me if their interesting and intriguing but this cast was neither of those things. Such a brilliant tribute to Christie’s “And Then There Were None” meets 1985’s classic mystery movie “ Clue” ( six guests’ invitation to a mansion theme) ! A dark claustrophobic thriller takes place at dilapidated gothic house locating on a tidal island. A family gathering to celebrate 80th birthday of grandmother: who was born on Halloween! Conor says whoever is killing off the family is in the room (which leaves Conor, Rose, Daisy and Trixie.) Synopsis: 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.

Trixie says that despite her heart condition, she hopes to live to twenty-five and wants to travel the world. Daisy is wearing childish clothes because those are the clothes she wore the day that she died. Nana wanted Daisy to write her own story. Daisy uses Conor’s computer to start writing her story. Her debut novel, Sometimes I Lie, was published in 2017. Not going to lie (ha!), I was kind of freaked out by the concept of a woman in a coma trying to remember what happened to her, so I didn’t read it. 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!” For a murder-mystery this was alright, but I guessed the big twist at about a third of the way through, (at the "Boo" moment, but also it seemed obvious that the other characters weren't actually conversing with Daisy) so after that I was just waiting for the reveal, which seemed to take a long time to get to.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… To say Nana is eccentric would be an understatement. And the rest of the family? Let‘s just say they put the fun in dysFUNctional, if you love dysfunctional families as much as I do. Their dialogue is often hilarious and they do not hesitate to go after each other with their claws out.
