Monsters don’t always hide in the dark. Some walk around in broad daylight, happy to be seen by anyone foolish enough to look in their direction.

It is Halloween and also Daisy Darker’s Nana’s 80th birthday and the entire Darker family are invited to celebrate it at Seaglass, the family cliff house.

There’s no need to be afraid of the dead; it’s the living you have to watch out for.

After everyone arrives and the tide rises, Nana surprises them by reading her will, announcing that she has left everything to her great granddaughter and nothing to the other members of the family.

Daisy Darker’s family were as dark as dark can be.
When one of them died, all of them lied, and pretended not to see.

But that is not the only shock the family receive.
At midnight, Nana is found murdered and one hour later another member of the family is disposed of.
Someone is killing the Darker family one by one.
Is the murderer one of the family or is there someone else at Seaglass killing them one at a time?
But the most important question of all is why do the Darker family members need to die?

What goes around comes around
And kills you without a sound

My reasons for the 3 star rating:(Or else it would have been 5)

-People’s characteristics and peculiarities are explained too many times. Like the reader didn’t get it the first three times.
-What is with the use of the word ‘broken� instead of calling someone sick or ill? Imagine you tell people your child is broken because she has a heart condition!
-Too many repetitive descriptions.
-Annoying philosophical moral lessons which were ever present in every other paragraph (and also in the author’s previous books).
- I don't like loose ends and the author cheating the reader.
-I guessed what's going on right from the beginning.
