The Midnight Feast

**Book your place at the table . . . The brand new murder mystery thriller from the No.1 bestseller** _________________________________________________________________

Enjoyed it so so much, I can see the manor if I close my eyes, the caravan park the farm belonging to the Walkers, the beach, the forest, the pool, the bar, it feels like I was there for the time I was reading the book. I felt like one of the guests who got to watch it all unfold. Every time I thought the book was going to go a certain way, it went the other way. Everything was interlinked and I should’ve known that but I didn’t so the twists kept coming to me like I was the one having a feast. It was my first Lucy Foley book and I’m excited to read more from her.

Time doesn’t always heal wounds. Sometimes they are left to fester and ultimately infect everything around them.

A posh resort opens in a rural village, leaving the locals bitterly opposing the opulent show of wealth and blatant disregard for their way of life.  The posturing yoga sessions on the lawn, energy crystal studded mask is covering up deep secrets. As the cast of characters come together, each with their own hidden past and agenda, will they discover the secrets that have been hiding behind “midnight feasts” for so long?

I was completely engrossed in reading “The Midnight Feast.” As I was reading, I kept realizing I was getting hunched over as was pulled further into the lives of the characters and sitting on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next! 

10/10 recommend for mystery/thriller lovers out there!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book with the plot twist and the mystery. I have enjoyed Lucy Foley’s writing, and I will now be on the look out for her other works.

Took some getting used to flitting between different times but a good twist in the ending. Read this via borrow box, started on the flight home from Australia

i DEVOURED this book-just as good as people say it is! i loved the differing perspectives and how the timelines twisted. some of the plot twists genuinely had me gasping. brilliant mystery as well as a great take on classism in the uk

I listened to this audiobook over the course of like 3 days which might be a new audiobook record for me. I mean it’s a Lucy Foley book, what do you expect! Multiple perspectives, jumping timelines, perfect for audiobooks. I think I liked this as much as Paris Apartment - maybe a little less, I dunno. I do like the cheekiness of this one and the Goop-ification of a main character. The web was a bit loosely woven, or maybe too tightly woven? But overall a grand old time and I couldn’t stop listening.

It was really exciting and was super fast paced. It was a kind of predictable but there were so many plot lines it was hard to predict everything.

Easy reading, some twists at the end are not too predictable.

More or less the same story and characters from The Paris Apartment with different setting and dressing.

love when mean girls get what they deserve 😩👌

Creepy, exclusive manor-turned-hotel in England; woods;  and...gigantic birds? Sign me up. This is a novel about rich people and the things that they do with their money. Oh-and there's a body thrown in. Rich in atmosphere and gothic vibes, The Midnight Feast was enjoyable to read.

I normally enjoy Lucy Foley but I couldn’t get into this one. The characters were annoying, the pieces all felt a little too convenient, and it fit together too perfectly.

Amelia

Absolutely loved this book, such a great read and the plot twists are phenomenal

It was okay. The plot was okay, the characters were okay. It was a bit dramatic, which I didn’t like. I liked Lucy Foley’s other books more. So this seemed pretty average for me.

Had 10hrs of driving this weekend and so listened to the entire book!   So glad I did it this way as the book is narrated by numerous actors due to the many povs. Add in the various accents too meant the overall story was just a really fun experience! 

A good story, with lots of suspense and eerie elements to it! Twisty as heck too!!

It’s been a while since I picked up a Lucy Foley book but this one was the perfect June Book on a light summer reader and what a book this was, I enjoyed getting lost in the woods and I was kept on my feet throughout the entire book, towards the end I started to peace the puzzle together as well as some curveballs in there as well which kept me on my toes throughout the book. The perfect mystery book for Summer!

Welcome to The Manor it’s a new resort in nature for the rich and is having its grand opening around the Solstice, but the locals are not happy that the Manor’s owners have blocked off land access to the beach in an attempt to privatise it, among other things. There are whispers of avenging birds from the locals, but surely, it’s just folklore. The day after the Solstice, a body is discovered on the shore, and something is on fire.

Told through multiple charter’s point of views as well as alternating timelines which I will admit took me a while to get settled with the jumping and changing but once I settled, I was hooked, and it didn’t let me go until the end with wanting to know what happened and to who. Foley has masterfully woven the lives of all the characters and all their closely guarded secrets.

Foley has done an excellent job at connecting everything and picking up on the small details of the characters and tie up all the loose ends. I would 100% recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a summer mystery thriller.

An instant New York Times bestseller! "Sharp, stylish and stunning...Foley's best yet." — Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of All the Colors of the Dark "It is an absolute bonkers delight (and I haven’t even mentioned the local bird cult yet …)." — NPR, Best Books of the Year Secrets. Lies. Murder. Let the festivities begin… It’s the opening night of The Manor, the newest and hottest luxury resort, and no expense, small or large, has been spared. The infinity pool sparkles; the “Manor Mule” cocktail (grapefruit, ginger, vodka, and a dash of CBD oil) is being poured with a heavy hand. Everyone is wearing linen. But under the burning midsummer sun, darkness stirs. Old friends and enemies circulate among the guests. Just outside the Manor’s immaculately kept grounds, an ancient forest bristles with secrets. And it’s not too long before the local police are called. Turns out the past has crashed the party, with deadly results. THE GIRLBOSS · THE HUSBAND · THE KITCHEN HELP · THE MYSTERY GUEST Everyone’s got a secret. Everyone’s got an agenda. But not everyone will survive…The Midnight Feast "Foley’s usual techniques of unraveling the central mystery through multiple timelines and narrators are paralleled by the spiraling events of the weekend, which careen from juice shots and yoga on the lawn to a chaotic climax at a hallucinogen-fueled bacchanal where hidden identities and multiple murders are brought to light. It is an absolute bonkers delight" — NPR
