What to expect
An all-consuming tale of psychological suspense with a spectacular twist, inspired by Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None
From Alice Feeney, the internationally bestselling author of His and Hers, soon to be a major TV series produced by Jessica Chastain.
'Clever, compelling, confounding and absolutely delicious' – Lisa Jewell, bestselling author of None of This is True
'I devoured this in record time because I had to know what happened next. Alice Feeney is one of my absolute favourites' – Samantha Downing, author of My Lovely Wife
Isolated on their private island in Cornwall, the Darker family have come together for the first time in over a decade. When the tide comes in, they'll be cut off from the rest of the world for eight hours. When the tide goes back out, nothing will ever be the same again. Nothing – because one of the family is a killer . . .
As the leaves of autumn fall, Daisy Darker arrives at her grandmother’s house for eightieth birthday celebrations. Seaglass, the Darker’s ancestral home, is a crumbling Cornish house perched upon its own tiny private island.
Every member of the family has their secrets. Nana, alone for so long. Daisy's absent father, Frank. Her cold-hearted mother, Nancy. Her siblings, Rose and Lily, and her niece, Trixie, full of questions and without a father of her own. Daisy has never had an easy relationship with her family, but some secrets are much darker than others. This will be a gathering that some of them won't remember.
'I was on the edge of my seat the whole time' – Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of Daisy Jones and the Six

Critics Review
Daisy Darker is clever, compelling, confounding and absolutely delicious.
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. LOVED IT!
Wow, I absolutely loved it. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. It was an absolute thrill
Clever, sinister, claustrophobic, beguiling and utterly compelling. I was totally hooked from the first sentence.
This book is all kinds of twisty, and it’s SO much fun

You could not find a more perfect tribute to Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None.
Looking for an eerie, atmospheric thriller set on a remote island, where a family reunion turns murderous? Told in hauntingly lyrical prose, this deliciously dark tale had me completely mesmerized. I loved Feeney’s clever twist on Christie’s And Then There Were None.
So nuanced and cleverly written that once I’d read the last page I immediately had to go back and re-read the first. One minute my heart raced, the next it was breaking. Twisted, chilling, unpredictable and so vivid that I felt I was there with the family at Seaglass. DAISY DARKER, is a story I’ll never forget and Alice Feeney’s best book yet. Amazing!
