The Midnight Feast

Beschreibung

"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 · THEKITCHEN 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

Manor hotel in Dorset." - Nita Prose, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Maid and The Mystery Guest

"Thriller fans rejoice: Lucy Foley is back with another fantastic novel. I devoured The Midnight Feast with a smile on my face. Rarely has murder been so much wicked fun. It has everything you want from a Lucy Foley thriller: a glamorous location, an entertaining cast of characters brought to life with a terrific sense of humor, an undercurrent of witchy menace-and an unsolved murder. This is the perfect book to take on holiday. Just count yourself lucky you're not staying at The Manor."

"The Midnight Feast by Lucy Foley has it all... an isolated hotel, a coven of intriguing guests, a family with secrets and a community with scores to settle... while an ancient woodland masking secrets of its own looms all around.
