The Midnight Feast by Lucy Foley

5.0

Welcome to The Manor, the newest luxury getaway for the elite featuring garden to table food, state of the art spa amenities, world class entertainment, and a unique opportunity to explore the local scenery. Cultivated and created by the Hostess, Francesca Meadows with the assistance of her architect husband, Owen Dacre-- every guest is sure to feel like family during their stay.

Told through five alternating viewpoints, including the kitchen help/local boy, the owner, the husband, the guest, and the homicide detective-- an incredibly complex story of heartbreak, betrayal, murder, and revenge leaves only four of our narrators alive.

Lucy Foley has done it again! Full of her well-known twists and turns, THE MIDNIGHT FEAST was a delight from start to finish-- and it kept me guessing until the very last page. An intricately woven story featuring a small town, local folklore (of the deadly variety), haunted woods, and someone seeking revenge, this might just be one of my new favorite thrillers. Foley does a wonderful job of creating the perfect ambience, developing her characters (in complex and incredibly surprising ways!), and building tension, creating a page-turning ending that left me satisfied but desperate for more.
