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

Great story made less great by narrator

I really enjoyed this story. The only thing that got in the way was how the narrator’s sentences kind of trail off in a wistful way. It felt contrived and like it’s the only trick her bag.

Wonderful story and performance!! One audio issue!!

Loved the story and the narrator. And the ending OMG! I never saw that coming. The only issue I had with the audiobook was the mix. There’s some type of noise gate or limiter used in the mix that shuts down the ends of some audio lines from time to time, and it gets ready annoying. Other than that it was GREAT!!

I Thought I Knew

The whole time I thought I knew what was going on and for the most part I may have been a little spot on....... but I didn't expect the why and wow that was a twist

Saw it coming (spoiler warning)

I LOVE this author, I really do, and I’ve been a huge fan of hers but this was a let down. I saw it coming in the first few chapters. You can only use the word “ignored” so many times before it becomes obvious. I still have a few chapters left but it’s been hard to finish.

Perfect!!

I loved this book! It’s so worth reading, I’m the kind of person that something just has to grab me from the start or I will not finish it and this has. Please read it you will not regret it. 😊

Great plot twist

While it started a bit slow, this story hooked me and I loved it. Beautiful writing, great narration.

Fantastic story!

I couldn’t stop listening to this gripping story and it was absolutely Brilliant narration by Stephanie! Really really good.

Wow!!

Might be my favorite Alice Feeney Novel… I loved it. I figured out the twist pretty early on but not the whole ending. I really enjoyed it and love how everything really makes sense at the end. I highly recommend this novel.

a great new author to obsess over!

amazing narration! I audiobooks the narrator is just as important as the story, more so maybe. Stephanie racine does a fantastic job. gripping without being over dramatic.
the story itself grabs you from the start.i was instantly invested. A lot of times with Mysteries the author gets repetitive just to drag the story out, The protagonist constantly asking the same questions over and over again and you do not have the here at all. If you like Lucy Foley and Ruth where you're gonna like Alice feeney.
I can't wait To read another one by this author

Aw, man.

I was hoping this was a straightforward who-dunnit. It's a well-written book with great suspense. But then I got to the end and the paranormal twist disappointed me. This just wasn't what I was looking for in a murder mystery.
