the tone of the writing does feel slightly immature/juvenile but that could be intentional to reflect the main character. i didn’t guess the twists at all so it did what i wanted it to do as a thriller! i love dysfunctional families and this definitely delivered but the characters felt pretty flat outside of that - i also didn’t care for the preachiness from nana but i can see how some would like it. the ending felt a little “unrealistic” in a way i wasn’t prepared for but i still really enjoyed it overall.

Daisy Darker is a new take on a classic Agatha Chrisie plot line, but just left me wanting. The story was engaging, but the writing style didn't grip me. While I didn't see the plot twist coming, I still felt underwhelmed by the ending.
