Welcome to Cover to Cocktails! This month’s book is Daisy Darker by Alice Feeney. This dark murder mystery takes place on a secluded island where members of the Darker family are slowly being murdered. Who is killing them and why? You won’t believe the ending! If you enjoy murder mysteries with twists and turns that keep you guessing, then this is the book for you! And for supplemental reading, try Agatha Christie’s classic And Then There Were None. The premise of both books is the same, but with different twists.
