She reveals that although Lily and Nancy tried to drug her, she dumped the drugged tea into a potted plant. She says she didn’t kill the whole family by herself, she had help. Daisy dueled with the death 8 times and against all odds she survive! She’s expected to live not longer than 20 years but she’s 29!

stars : Many readers are eager to read this book and (almost) everyone describes it as exceptionnal, but I was far from impressed.Daisy Darker, the narrator, was born with a heart condition and was told she wouldn’t live past the age of 15. Fourteen years later, she’s headed to her Nana’s birthday. Daisy still dresses like a child. She feels that her Nana is the only person in her family who loved her. Daisy’s Nana wrote a book about her and made a fortune. The ending of this book blew my mind. It’s definitely one of the more literary mystery’s I’ve read, but I really enjoyed Daisy’s narration. “And then there were none” was a fav of mine, & I enjoyed it Maybe it was all of the pent up emotion of dragging out a book I've been waiting so long to read and then having such a satisfying and riveting ending, maybe it was simply the plot itself, my connection to these characters in such a short period of time, or some combination of all of these elements. All I know is, I can't even remember the last time THIS sort of book made me feel THAT sort of way!

Since Daisy is born with a heart condition, she repeatedly refers to herself as "broken." This is stated over and over throughout the story, in the most pitiful and woe-is-me way. Since I read the physical copy, I can't do a search for how many times the word "broken" is used, but it wouldn't surprise me if the answer is hundreds of times. At least that's the way it feels. Daisy Darker’s family wasted far too many years lying, they spent their final hours together learning lessons before DYING…” Thank you to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own. Nana: the sharp witted, unconventional grandmother, illustrator and writer of children books, the holy grandmother who is about to be 80!

It will soon be Nana's 80th birthday and the countdown has started. Not only until the birthday party, but until the next murder.
