The Midnight Feast: An NPR Best Book of the Year
"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

I had previously read Lucy Foley and really enjoyed her suspense and character building. For some reason this one didnât pull me in the same way. A lot of the characters felt forced and the ending left several things to be desired.
The motivations of many characters werenât very complicated which made them feel more like caricatures than real people.
Overall Iâm not sure if Iâd pick up more from Foley (itâs like 50/50 right now). 3/5
