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

    Nope. 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!

    What a huge disappointment after The Paris Apartment. I finished it because I can't leave a book unfinished.

    This book grabs you from the very beginning. I couldn’t put it down. It had lots of twists and turns. The setting and atmosphere the author creates was breathtakingly spooky. Thrilling rollercoaster ride of a book.
