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

Anticlimactic

I generally enjoy multiple vantage point books, so I liked the structure of this one. The overall plot and story lines didn’t maintain my interest because a few of them were kind of predictable. It was less of a whodunit, and more of a how was it done book.

Not Good

The narration is not good and the storyline is almost impossible to follow. If you liked The Paris Apartment skip this.

Not that interesting

I liked the Guest List much better. That’s the reason I wanted to read this one, but disappointed. Just not excited about the characters.

It got me and then it lost me.

Too many loose ends tied together at the end. Many weren’t obvious and could have been left out. It went from intense to eye roll in the end. It felt more soap opera than horror story. The missing family member at the end was a bridge too far.

Not her best

I found this book a bit ridiculous. Really wanted to love it but just wanted it to end.
