I just love a locked-in thriller! This one blended so many things that I love. Some of them I’ll tell you all about, but some I’m gonna leave you hanging on…can’t have spoilers 😊!
So, Daisy Darker has a bit of a wackado family, and they don’t really spend time together. Except for Nana’s birthday each year. This year, Nana is hitting the big 8-0, and she just knows it’s going to be her last birthday. Everyone in the family smells the inheritance possibilities, so they all come.
But now they are all trapped until the tide changes, and people start dying…
This story is, of course, a nod to Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None, so there aren’t any surprises there. The real surprises, for me were around the hows, the whys, and the wheres. I loved the way the story revealed details about each member of the family, keeping me hanging on the details all the way up until the last moments.
This was one that I didn’t want to put down. The characters are intriguing. There’s a wide variety of personalities, and you just don’t know who to trust. Then there’s the twists. I loved the things I saw coming, and the many that I didn’t. Alice Feeney has created a unique twist on a classic!
I listened to the audio of this one, and I would highly recommend it. The narration was fantastic!
