A dysfunctional family meets in her remote home for their Nana's 80th birthday, but at midnight, she's found dead. Trapped by the tide, it seems another family member is destined to die every hour.
I really liked this, dark and mysterious with some good twists, and a nod to Agatha Christie. I enjoyed the narrator, and the setting was almost like another character.

The twist in this book earned it an extra star for me.
A Poem for Daisy Darker
Daisy Darker's reader (that's me) wanted to rip out her hair.
She sought a decent story, but this drivel just made her despair.
A slew of bad metaphors and similes had her rolling and rolling her eyes.
She couldn't understand what idiots would believe these absurd lies.
Our narrator claims to be good and sweet and kind
yet to not see how judgmental she is I'd have to be blind.
She talked over and over and over about her poor "broken heart."
But I think she had a broken brain too because she definitely wasn't smart.
She's a character I hated and not in a love to hate way.
She was a spiteful, resentful, jealous brat all the live long day.
If there had been one more random "Oh! And another thing" line to try to make things fit,
I was going to lose every last strand of my sanity and my dwindling wit.
Daisy's grandma put candy in all food including mushy peas.
And no one thought to exclaim, "Gran, gumdrops don't belong in these!"
Granny also had a "bouncing" Old English sheepdog that was about sixteen years old.
I guess that they live around 10-12 years on average the author was never told?
And then there's a scene where Daisy's sister flashes a forehead loser "L" in 1986.
Apparently, she was too cool for school and ahead of those lame 90's tricks?
If I was in a house where my family was being murdered left and right,
I'd make us all sit in one damn room and stop letting everyone out of sight.
Why can't these dolts stop scurrying about and stay in one place to try to survive?
And why if they can't sit still, why won't they investigate the strange footsteps above to stay alive?
I can't say I was [insert any emotion at all] when these morons bit the dust.
Honestly, I started to wish that they (and this book) would spontaneously combust.
The plot is full of holes, the writing is gawd awful, the stupid sayings made me mad,
but if you think my rhyming is A+ stuff, you won't think this book is so bad.
1.5 Stars is the rating I'm ultimately giving
Because this garbage very nearly took away my very will for living
