Description

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

    It was perfect the way the story progressed. It didn’t feel slow. It’s a thriller, kind of a revenge story and a murder mystery.
  • Liked it.

    A 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…

    Starts 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

    Interesting 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.
