The Midnight Feast follows the story of our protagonist Francesca as she opens her new exclusive wellness retreat “The Manor” in her hometown of Tome on the Dorset coastline.
She dreams of a relaxed, boujee curated experience for her guests which will bring in the big bucks; however it’s clear from the start that The Birds have other plans.
The story is told from multiple POVs, along a dual timeline, with a snappy page turning pace. Full of suspenseful horror like moments and multiple twists, it’s an easy book to binge. However, at times I felt it was a little over complicated in places and lacking in depth in others.
Overall, another enjoyable and tense locked room mystery from Foley but definitely not my favourite.
3.5/5
