PSYCHOLOGICAL DRAMA
Daisy Darker by Alice Feeney (£14.99, HB, Pan Macmillan)
Daisy’s not sure what to expect from the family reunion at her grandmother’s isolated house on a private island.

Instead of celebrating an 80th birthday with cake and presents, the guests have eight hours to try to survive a mysterious killer before the tide goes out. As their nightmare continues, Daisy starts to learn the truth about what her family is capable of. A homage to Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None, with a modern twist you won’t see coming.
