They all had a reason. Only one had the nerve.

Twenty years ago, student Daisy Harrington went out for the evening and never came home. Her body was found a week later. The killer was caught. Case closed.

Now, on what would have been her fortieth birthday, her five university housemates are invited to a weekend gathering. None of them want to go. But none of them can refuse—the invitation makes it clear that if they don’t attend, the past they’ve spent two decades hiding will finally come to light.

Because the man convicted of Daisy’s murder was innocent. And one of the five has known this all along. As the weekend unfolds, the truth threatens to finally be revealed…

They all wanted Daisy dead, but one wanted it more. The question is…who? And why?

Plot

Amazing story. Loved the plot. Can’t wait to read more thi:s author. It was great.

Great book

Intriguing storyline with captivating ending; very entertaining throughout course of audiobook and read well from audio standpoint

if I have to hear the word "burfday" one more time....

The story was OK. I hated pretty much everyone. Totally insufferable people. How many cwosaants can one person nibble or look at? The story could've been so much better without the repetitive words. I kinda wish a character would've died early in the book. at least one of them. Daisy obviously has some sort of golden v that makes the men lose their crap over. I also don't see how a podcast can sit there and play games with people for days when a murder is at play. . It was like a poor imitation of the movie "Clue". Very poor imitation.

This one keeps you guessing

4-4.5 stars

I thought this was a great premise for a book. A unique way to bring today’s trends to a crime from 20 years ago. On what would have been Daisy’s 40th birthday, a podcast gathers all her friends to celebrate. They quickly realize they are the only guests and that the podcast hosts are trying to smoke out the “real” killer. Right from the start, I knew this was going to be one heck of a ride. Everybody has something to hide. I knew this author would not make it as obvious who did it so my mind was working overtime trying to figure it out. The author, the brilliant mind that she is, tricked me for the briefest of minutes and then BAM! ….and then that’s not ALL!! That epilogue. Holy cow! PSCYCO!! I am glad I was able to listen to the audio because it really helped me keep all the players in order.

Wanting Daisy Dead

This psychological thriller was an interesting one. Daisy had so many haters that it was difficult to pick one as the murderer. The characters were fully developed. Everyone had a secret and a reason to kill Daisy. It had so many twists and turns that I couldn’t stop reading this book. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys mysteries & thrillers.
