Daisy Darker by Alice Feeney

This book was a wild ride and very fun. The supernatural ending was a little bit of a let down for me. However, reading about Daisy’s last moments made me cry and my heart break. I was instantly intrigued with the book, I knew nothing about it going in. However, I went into heart failure in May of this year and now have my own matching scar to Daisy. I also drowned as a toddler and my brother saved me. The instant connection between Daisy and myself definitely made me instantly invested. I couldn’t to hear the whole mystery unfold.

Listened to the audiobook on this one, and really felt like a slog to me. Makes the references to And then there were none, but could use some of the Christie sense of humor.

This book was everything I wanted and more! With homage to the great Agatha Christie to an ending I didn’t see coming, Daisy Darker was definitely a thriller that stands out above the rest! You get great character development with the flashbacks and the chapter endings have you turning the page time and time again. Great book!

Daisy Darker omg I can’t believe I’ve only just discovered this masterpiece of a book, I kind of predicted the plot of the “killer” early on however it completely surprised me. The masterpiece of the writing & poetry was amazing. Why did I feel emotional towards the end when it’s a thriller book. It definitely gave me a turbulence of emotions and a sense of relief at the end. I absolutely adored this book and I would 100% recommend I would say this is a top book I’ve read this year
