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. Daisy recalls a big storm in 1987. Frank’s car had been hit by a falling tree and he was badly injured. Conor’s dad told the children about a man killed with a poisoned umbrella. Daisy recalls that Conor’s father had a relationship with Nancy but they broke up and Conor left home. This was truly unputdownable. It’s often difficult to pinpoint why I fall in love with some books and not others, but this one had everything…Daisy, the narrator, who literally has a “broken heart”, the family secrets, the writing, the creepy old house, eccentric characters, the menace of the tide coming in to trap the occupants in the house for hours, the deaths every hour, the alternating timeline between the past and present….and all on Halloween night. I was thinking FOUR ⭐️ for much of the book, but after I finished and saw how it all came together, I had to bump it up to FIVE STARS! But Conor said that Daisy would have died soon anyway, because of her heart condition. He suggested they cover up their involvement by throwing Daisy over the cliff. Rose and Lily agree that this is the only choice. They fling her off the edge of the cliff into the sea.

Nana's been a little fixated on her 80th-birthday, ever since that palm reader told her it would be her last.Today I’m so excited to be bringing you my review for Daisy Darker by Alice Feeney, a book I read this month with some buddies from TWR, and a book that surprised and enthralled me throughout. Daisy was never allowed to attend school, make friends or do any of the normal things that kids do. Daisy spent the school year alone with her books which transported her and inspired her.

Thriller Book Review: ‘Daisy Darker’ by Alice Feeney — What

She has asked everyone whom she considers family to join her at Seaglass, for this momentous occasion. The Victorian house with its gothic turrets and turquoise tiled roof is situated on the Cornish coast, in a spot that cuts it off from the rest of the world for eight hours, whenever the tide comes in. This is abook of family secrets. To discuss the darkest would be aplot spoiler. #nospoilers. What do you think was the second darkest secret? Connor, the man mentioned above, is a large part of these childhood memories, as that's when he first came on the scene and essentially became a member of the family. I go over these more in depth in my Spoiler Discussion Post for Daisy Darker. Obviously, And Then There Were None. There were nods to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. I was getting Little Women vibes at times from this, with the three sisters and Conor being Laurie. The family dog was named Poppins. The Element of Surprise in Daisy DarkerMany years ago, a palm reader predicted that Nana, Beatrice Darker, wouldn't live beyond the age of 80, and so she has invited the entire family to her island estate of Seaglass to celebrate the momentous birthday. Her son Frank, his ex-wife Nancy, their three daughters: Rose, Lily, and Daisy, and Lily's daughter Trixie, along with old family friend Conor are in attendance. But every member of the Darker family is hiding secrets, some more sinister than others. If you love dark family secrets, a twisty plot and a stunning writing style that will give you all the atmosphere and all the chills, then this book is definitely for you. I highly recommend it! I don’t want to say much about the plot, as it is best to go in blind. Filled with twists and turns, I was a busy reader trying to solve the puzzle about what was happening to the Darker family. There is a major twist that got me good!
