I enjoyed my time with it, but I wouldn't reread it.
Deeply okay.

Wow! This review will be short and sweet because I think it’s best to go into this one blind.
Daisy Darker is my second Alice Feeney read (the other being Rock, Paper, Scissors) and it easily takes the top spot. I don’t even know how to write this, because this book left me SHOOK & speechless.
This is a dark & twisty read, but I would also add that it’s incredibly heartbreaking. I guessed one twist but for the life of me could not figure the killer. There was one teeeny thing that left me with a question, but nothing that took away from the story.
I highly recommend Daisy Darker and it’s the perfect book for spooky season!

a mystery suspense novel with a supernatural bend. some of my favourite things are here like rich people family drama, murder, and a sweet dog who does NOT come to harm! 🥳 so fret not, friends! if you like the Clue movie with a little halloween spooky vibe and secrets all over, then give this one a shot. I really enjoyed it!
some parts were a smidge repetitive and I'm not entirely sure I'm the biggest fan of the very end, but I had fun, and thats all that really matters, overall.

I can’t say too much without giving the whole story away, but this was a fun murder mystery! For sure a more modern take on Agatha Christie mysteries with a little “Knives Out” action. It also reminded me, at times, of “The Prestige” and “Shutter Island”.
I will say that I guessed the final twists fairly early on, but still felt the satisfying shock when they were unveiled, as some pieces I definitely had not put together.
The writing style was great, though I did find the book a little too long, and some of the flashbacks stunted the flow of the story a tad. Also, don’t go into this one expecting to like any of the characters—some I rather loathed, which was part of the point of course.
Overall, a very on-brand read for Halloween season!!
