Daisy Darker’s Nana knew that she would die at the age of 80. What she and her family did not expect was for that death to occur exactly at midnight on her 80th birthday, nor did they anticipate the additional casualties that occur hourly, as family members are picked off one by one. As they scramble to decipher clues left by the killer, they seem only to dredge up dysfunctional family memories that are more painful than the deaths themselves. Feeney’s (Rock Paper Scissors) haunting thriller teems with heartache and horrors. Chapters begin by noting the time and tide, moving the creepy story forward with an atmospheric sense of impending doom. Using a first-person perspective, narrator Stephanie Racine wholly becomes Daisy, drawing listeners in with her upbeat, lyrical tone, which transforms to chilling whispers as the story takes twist after sinister twist.
VERDICT This audiobook will appeal to listeners seeking a spine-tingling suspense with a sympathetic female lead and intricate plot full of disturbing detail. Recommended for fans of Lucy Foley, Ruth Ware, and Sarah Pearse.
