"It all began with a secret fifteen years ago. Now, the past has crashed the party. And it'll end in murder at The Midnight Feast." 
 
Even though Midnight Library got off to a slow start, I really enjoyed the dual timeline and atmospheric feel of the story. These two additions really gave the overall mystery a more sinister vibe. I love a good whodunnit—especially when the opening chapter lets you know one of the characters will be dead by the end. 
 
However, when it comes to Lucy Foley's books, I need to remember that they will always be very character-heavy, have a bit of a slow burn, and usually have a wild ending. If I can remember that for her following books, maybe I won't be as let down by the ending. There was just something about the ending of The Midnight Feast that felt too over the top and left me wanting more. 
 
Read if you enjoy: 
⛰️Atmospheric settings 
✌🏼 Dual timelines 
🔍 Slow burn mysteries 
🗣️ Alternating POV 
 
I recommend reading Lucy Foley if you love a character-driven mystery.
