Daisy Darker
by Alice Feeney
Daisy Darker brings the classic locked-room family mystery vibe into a modern twist-heavy thriller. Alice Feeney uses a closed-circle setup and a steady stream of suspicion to create a whodunnit that is easy to devour when you want momentum back in your reading life.
The review
This book helped pull me out of a reading slump, and honestly that is a real compliment.
Daisy Darker has the kind of whodunnit setup that makes it easy to keep turning pages. The mystery keeps shifting, the twists keep coming, and there is just enough family dysfunction underneath it all to make the suspicion feel fun instead of forced.
What I appreciated most is that it understands exactly what kind of book it is. It is not trying to be restrained or understated. It wants to entertain you with reveals, tension, and that constant sense that nobody around the table should be trusted.
For me, it lands as a strong 3.5-star read: enjoyable, twisty, and great for getting back into a thriller groove. It also made me want to keep moving through more of Alice Feeney's catalog, which is usually a good sign.
If you want a mystery that feels built for discussion and suspicion, this is a good one to throw into the stack.
