About this audiobook

Every family has a story. But some families have a body count.

‘Clever, compelling, and absolutely delicious’ – Lisa Jewell, author of None of This is True

The internationally bestselling author of His & Hers, Alice Feeney, returns with an all-consuming tale of psychological suspense . . . and a spectacular twist.

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 devoured this in record time . . . Alice Feeney is one of my absolute favourites’ – Samantha Downing, author of My Lovely Wife

‘I was totally hooked from the first sentence’ – Peter James, author of the Roy Grace series

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.
