About this audiobook

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

I couldn't get past the narrator's acting style, it's like she was instructed to deliver every line with sad awe and then trail off at the end. I found it pretty grating and a distraction from the story. I really enjoy audio books, but the narrator was a barrier to this one. I couldn't get past the first chapter.

terrible terrible , almost stupid end. was Alice under pressure to finish. not her style at all. I felt it an insult to throw in 18 minutes of ghosts and dead people coming back to life.
