STAR RATINGS GUIDE
Alice Feeney Is A Master of Twistsā¦
THE BIRDICT
š Alice Feeney is a master of twists,
Of sinister tales of botanists.
She seeded an island with characters dark,
Then trapped them within a deadly tidemark.
Poisonous secrets deep buried do rise,
And as for the ending, itās quite the surprise.
š Couldnāt help myself. Not even sorry.
š Listen to this for the delectably despicable characters, for the modern take on Agatha Christy (I want brownie points for the herculean restraint of not rhyming with twisty) and, of course, for that shock ending.
Big thanks to Macmillan UK Audio and NetGalley for providing me with an ALC in return for an honest review.
SQUAWKING THE TALK
š§ Such a fun listen. Just pure indulgence. Stephanie Racine once again proves why she is Feeneyās go-to narrator with her silky, sultry delivery.
BIRDS OF A FEATHER: SIMILAR AUDIOBOOKS
I was so proud of myself for knowing Trixie was the murderer. Then the final twist rounded the bend and I was totally unprepared. I found it haunting and beautiful and somehow uplifting.
