I figured out what was going on like 130 pages in so then the book felt slow and predictable

Tucked away at the family home, cut off from civilization by the rising tide, the Darker family gathers to celebrate Nana’s 80th birthday. But the celebration soon goes awry when Nana announces she will be leaving her fortune to her great granddaughter.
Well that just won’t do. Maybe it’s time for Nana to die.
My first foray into Alice Feeney books and it definitely didn’t disappoint. I’ve heard nothing but good things about her books and this one caught my interest with Book of the Month. It gave off serious And Then There Were None vibes throughout the book which is always a bonus in my book. I kinda saw the ending coming a little but there was such a huge twist I didn’t expect that I wasn’t disappointed that I’d figured out some of the other things.
A very solid 4 star read.

Wow, just wow.
4.5 since it did drag in the last quarter, but what a fun ride!

Very slow moving plot, didn’t connect with any characters and it all felt very caricature-ish
