Publisher's Summary

An all-consuming tale of psychological suspense with a spectacular twist, inspired by Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None

From Alice Feeney, the internationally bestselling author of His and Hers, soon to be a major TV series produced by Jessica Chastain.

'Clever, compelling, confounding and absolutely delicious' – Lisa Jewell, bestselling author of
None of This is True

'I devoured this in record time because I had to know what happened next. Alice Feeney is one of my absolute favourites' – Samantha Downing, author of
My Lovely Wife

Isolated on their private island in Cornwall, the Darker family have come together for the first time in over a decade. When the tide comes in, they'll be cut off from the rest of the world for eight hours. When the tide goes back out, nothing will ever be the same again. Nothing – because one of the family is a killer...

As the leaves of autumn fall, Daisy Darker arrives at her grandmother’s house for eightieth birthday celebrations. Seaglass, the Darker’s ancestral home, is a crumbling Cornish house perched upon its own tiny private island.

Every member of the family has their secrets. Nana, alone for so long. Daisy's absent father, Frank. Her cold-hearted mother, Nancy. Her siblings, Rose and Lily, and her niece, Trixie, full of questions and without a father of her own. Daisy has never had an easy relationship with her family, but some secrets are much darker than others. This will be a gathering that some of them won't remember.

'I was on the edge of my seat the whole time' – Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of Daisy Jones and the Six

Critic Reviews

"Wow! Echoes of Christie's And Then There Were None but turned into something wonderfully original and wrapped in a genuinely creepy dysfunctional family fairy tale of a novel, this takes Feeney to the next level. Loved it!" (Sarah Pinborough, author of number one best-selling Behind Her Eyes)

"Clever, sinister, claustrophobic, beguiling and utterly compelling. I was totally hooked from the first sentence." (Peter James)

"So many nasty secrets. And that's before the bodies start to pile up! I've always been an Alice Feeney fan—but I think she's outdone herself with this startling murderfest!" (R.L. Stine)

Great twist but…

I really struggled to get through this book, but I persevered because the last few chapters were worth it, the ending was great. But with narrator’s voice, I felt like a child was talking to me most of the time, and that’s why I struggled with the book overall.

Could not finish due to narrator

Urgh. The narrator.. I tried and got to within 5 hours of the end- I was enjoying the story and wanted to find out what happens in the end but the narrator read the story like she was an overacting daydreamer. Urgh. I couldn’t stand it. Might have to read the book instead.

Alice Feeney does it again!

I couldn’t wait for this book to be released. I’m a huge fan of Alice Feeney, and this book does not disappoint. Beautifully narrated, the story was dark and twisty as promised, I was guessing until the end (some of my guesses were close but that did not take away from the incredible story!). In fact, it’s the type of book you finish and want to read again straight away. Highly, highly recommend!

Gripping with a twist I hadn’t expected.

What a novel; as a non-reader this was just what I needed to keep me engaged. Well written that I found myself trying to read ahead of the audio.
