Loved both how atmospheric this was--I felt like I was there--and how well-drawn all the characters were. Deliciously dark!

If there's one thing I love, it's various seemingly separate plots coming together for an explosive story. That's exactly what The Midnight Feast was.

While there were certain reveals I had guessed early on, It was satisfying to watch them unfold on such a vivid, cinematic space. The Manor had an ominous feeling that added to the suspense of the overall story. Lucy Foley made it some place I was glad I couldn't visit but also couldn't help but imagine staying in alongside the guests as they went from event to event.

I think it's easy for a book with multiple points of view and mysteries that need solving to delve too far into the unbelievable but Foley really balanced it all out well. It's part traditional mystery part light horror with the element of the birds or forest that seems to always be on the locals mind, no matter what.

I really enjoyed this book and think it's the perfect fall choice when you want something dark and layered.

Definitely one of my favorite Lucy Foley books, and by far the creepiest! I loved the elements of folklore and the occult along with her usual nuanced class commentary. Listened to the audiobook and the performances were great.

I love Lucy foley books , the mystery and suspense always keeps me entertained, I definitely thought I figured it out but I was off . Great book

Admittedly, this was rather slow at first. But it was very well written and well thought out. I really enjoyed how everyone’s story lines came together in the end. I wasn’t thrilled about who was finally revealed to have committed the murder that happens at the start of the book but I guess they can’t all be 5 stars.

i feel it unfair for me to give this book a review when i had to dnf it for personal reasons. i do think the writing was beautiful, the setting so so atmospheric and set the vibe of the story so well that it’s almost what stands out to me the most. i unfortunately just did not clash well with this story.

This book was so good and it kept me reading until I finished it. I really love Lucy foley books and haven’t read a bad one yet!

I didn't hate this but I didn't love it. I had to eventually get the audiobook, which I should've borrowed from the library rather than bought, because I had a hard time connecting to the characters. Even the sympathetic ones were hard to follow. The full cast narration helped me get through reading it though. Each narrator truly brought their character to life in the best way.

I think the class warfare aspect of the novel hit just a look too hard with me, as it was hard and upsetting to read this. And the rich girl taking on the poor girl for kicks. I have a hard time with these topics these days and that's not the fault of the novel but I still have to give this three stars for it, personally.

I appreciated, and was also amused by the fact, that everything was tied together with a pretty bow by the end. It was nice that everything connected in some way, the characters' connections slowly revealed. Foley's revealing <i>everything</i> at the end though always annoys me... which is why this probably the last time I'll read something from her.

This isn't any offence to Foley, I just don't think she's for me. There's so little time in life and every time I read her I give her 2 or 3 stars, and I want to spend my precious time on 5 stars, which I'm usually good at choosing... I just wanted to give her yet another chance. I keep reading the summaries of her books thinking they sound great but then I just end up let down every time. There's nothing wrong with that, I think - not every author is for everyone. If you're a fan, more power to you. I'll pass from now on though.

I am a huge fan of this author. Her thrillers are always layered and I love how she reveals new info within the story. She is on my auto-buy list and this one was actually provided to me by Net Galley and the publisher. Unfortunatly I dropped the ball with my NG reads last year and missed my window. I ended up grabbing this one from the library and now need to add it to my personal collection!

I wanted to love this but it just didn’t do it for me. Foley’s books always need so many specific things to happen and they just fall out of plausibility that way. It’s too much.

The Midnight Feast had me hooked from page one. This felt like a classic Lucy Foley book w its eerie setting, and slow-building tension. In my opinion, she’s our modern-day Agatha Christie. No one does shifting POVs and unraveling secrets quite like her.

Every chapter had me second-guessing who to trust, what was real, and how it would all come together. Clever, satisfying, and just the right amount of chilling.

If you love a good whodunit with a dark edge, The Midnight Feast delivers in every way.

Thank You to NetGalley and William & Morrow for the free ARC.

I haven't read Lucy Foley before. I loved this book! The storytelling from multiple different points of views and timelines was on point. I thought the whole book was creative, moody, suspenseful, dark, scary, mysterious, revengeful and I wanted to read more and more. It was hard to put down. The ending was a bit of a twist and I did not see it coming. The characters were well developed and trying to figure out who is bad and who is good was a fun ride. This book is definitely a roller coaster of emotions and events and playing a little detective to put it all together.

I would definitely read this again. I think it would make a great audiobook and movie. My goal is to read more of Lucy Foley.

Lucy Foley's The Midnight Feast offers a fun setting at a high-end British seaside resort, perfect for some rich people behaving badly shenanigans.
However, while the atmosphere is great, the book stumbles a bit with its characters. They often feel underdeveloped and serve the plot more than feeling like real individuals. This makes it tough to connect with anyone or truly care about the unfolding mystery. The "rich people behaving badly" feels a bit expected rather than a fresh or shocking reveal. While there's some intrigue, the lack of strong character development keeps The Midnight Feast from hitting its full potential. It's a decent enough escape, but don't expect to be deeply invested in the people involved.

The Midnight Feast is a moody, twist-filled whodunit set at an exclusive wellness retreat where secrets simmer beneath the surface and the past refuses to stay buried. Lucy Foley spins her signature multi-perspective suspense with sharp pacing and simmering tension. It’s glossy, gripping, and just unsettling enough to keep the lights on.

Absolutely love Lucy Score!! This book was so well written and held my interest the whole time! The twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat!! I highly recommend!

Thank you NetGalley and William Morrow for this opportunity!

I love Lucy Foley’s books, but this one was a bit confusing for me. It didn’t draw me in initially, and once it did I was lost in the plot. I loved the inclusion of folklore, and overall it was a good read but nothing groundbreaking.

Unfortunately this book was not for me and I had to DNF it. I couldn't understand what was going on and it was so hard for me to stay focused and keep reading it.

Thank you NetGalley, William Morrow and the author for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I am definitely a fan of Lucy‘s and the way that she writes her thrillers because they’re atmospheric and you can definitely picture yourself in the moment where the setting is. I did find that this had a nice slow burn with multiple point of views and I have to admit that as much as I thought I had the unfigured out again did not, and I enjoyed the nice tie up and surprised ending

This has been my favorite of the author's books I've read so far. I wasn't sure how I would feel about it initially since there's a lot of jumping around multiple POVs, but I came to enjoy how it was written and how it was presented to us. I think this one was easier to follow with the POVs compared to some of the author's other books. More of the characters were likeable too.

Without spoiling too much, I was unsure how I would feel about this book until the story unfolded further. I liked how the characters were presented, how the past wove into the present, and how it ultimately tied together. It all came together very nicely in the end, making it a satisfying read.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an advance copy of The Midnight Feast by Lucy Foley in exchange for my honest review and feedback. I love anything by Lucy Foley and couldn't wait to start this! I'm warning you now, it starts off a tad slow but holy cow it picks up so fast and you will not be able to put it down. The twists and turns are enough to make you gasp out loud! Do yourself a favor and read this right away.
