Description
"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
Reviews
A Good Read
4By BickablesA good read. Some interesting twist interns. As with so many of these books, I feel like a lot happened at the end, and I don’t know that I bought all the twists and turns. But it was enjoyable and I would recommend it.Ok but…
3By picalillieobxStarts off strong but goes off the rails closer to the end. There’s a lot of rapid action to tie up all the loose ends.Meh
2By markevin13Interesting story… but the story telling is sloppy. The author leap frogs from one murder mystery cliche to another with little or no connective tissue. As if it was written by a high school student.The Midnight Feast
3By mDalborHad some good creepy parts but the ending was pretty much as expected.Lovely
5By Meju9I love a story that keeps you guessing the whole time. The Midnight Feast really delivered in the end.Midnight Feast

5By TjJenniNope. Did not guess the ending at all. I loved this story and the differing viewpoints were not hard to follow. If anything, they made it more intriguing. The author revealed everything in perfect time and I never wanted to skip to the end. Great read!Amazing
