Alice Feeney’s new murder mystery is set on an island in England that is only accessible at low tide. Like the Christie plot of ‘And Then There Were None,’ Daisy Darker’s victims are isolated and begin getting killed one by one. The family reunites at the grandmother’s house on the island where she decides to read her will early so there will be no surprises after her death. Her son and grand daughters aren’t happy with their inheritance. We learn about the 3 grand daughters who never amounted to much as well as the self-absorbed son who abandoned the family to pursue his own self-interests. A surprise twist at the end is hard to believe, but may keep you entertained enough to read to discover who-done-it.
