The Darker family is... messed up. To say the least. Each family member has secrets they would rather not share but come to light at Nana's 80th birthday party. Everyone is stuck at Nana's house for 8 hours after the tide comes in, and, when Nana is found dead at midnight, everyone begins to panic trying to figure out who did it. As the family bickers over who killed Nana, more and more strange things start to happen as other family members start to disappear... and die.
I thought the book was well-written, intriguing, and fast-paced. I enjoyed trying to figure out whodunit as I kept reading, and I was delightfully surprised by the multiple twists and turns in the story. One of my favorite parts of the book was the explanation of who, what, when, where, and why at the end.
Overall, this was a great twist on a classic that I'd recommend to thriller and mystery readers alike.
