Reviews-
May 9, 2022 Daisy Darker, the sheltered, 29-year-old narrator of this tempestuous homage to Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None from bestseller Feeney (Rock Paper Scissors), and her dysfunctional kin—divorced parents, two older sisters, and 15-year-old niece, Trixie—rarely gather thanks to an incident nobody will discuss. Regardless, Daisy’s grandmother, Nana, maintains she’ll die this year, so the group grudgingly visits Nana’s Cornish tidal island estate on her 80th birthday. The mood sours after Nana reads her new will, which bequeaths almost everything to Trixie, but since the island’s causeway is accessible only at low tide, everyone must stay put. When Trixie finds Nana dead in the kitchen, most assume it’s an accident—never mind the macabre poem on a nearby chalkboard. Then Nana’s body vanishes, and someone murders another family member, leaving the trapped survivors distrustful and terrified. Feeney elevates a familiar setup with evocative prose, fully realized characters, and an intimate, insightful first-person narrative. Flashbacks add depth while expanding the suspect list, and twists abound. Sarah Pinborough fans, take note. Agents: Jonny Gellar and Kari Stuart, Curtis Brown.

Stephanie Racine's talented narration helps create an atmospheric backdrop for this dark mystery. The story is told from the viewpoint of Daisy Darker and switches between the present day and Daisy's 1980s childhood. Daisy and her dysfunctional family are keeping a secret. As the story begins, they have returned home to attend a rare family reunion. Tensions build as family members are killed one by one. Racine is the perfect narrator for this story. She creates highly believable characters, emphasizing their personal traits. Her narration is carefully crafted not to give away a key plot point and to allow the twists and turns of the mystery to unfold. Her timing helps the tension build as the events head to a revealing climax. K.J.P. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
