Daisy Darker by Alice Feeney
5.0

WHAAAAAAAT.

I usually don't enjoy And Then There Were None retellings, but this was a very fun take on it. It's full of flashbacks, atmosphere, and a mysterious person tormenting the houseguests. And while I guessed the perpetrator of the murders with ease, I didn't see the second twist coming! I feel like on the reread, I'll see all of the foreshadowing. My favorite part was the ominous poems throughout and now fitting the respective deaths were. Plus with it being set in the early 2000's, there are some added stakes to being that isolated. (And people have top of the line Nokia flip phones soooooo)
