Daisy Darker

A Novel

"Stephanie Racine's talented narration helps create an atmospheric backdrop for this dark mystery."- AudioFile

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!!

Boring Narration

The narrator is blah. Had a hard time with the story because the narrator speaks the same way for all characters with the same tone and the same style. Was bland and boring and way too easy to zone out due to that.

BRUH

This shit was insane and so freaking good - a perfect read for spooky season. My mom recommended it and I will forever now take her recs seriously.

Great book! Must read

A must read! Just use a credit for this book! I listened to this book in three days!
