I received an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for a review.
The Midnight Feast takes place at a brand new, posh hotel, called The Manor. The owner Francesca Meadows inherited the property following the death of her grandfather. The story follows the point of view of Bella, a guest for opening weekend; Owen, Francesca's husband and architect; Eddie, a local hired as a dishwasher; and Detective Inspector Walker.

Over the course of three days, The Manor opens and is destroyed. The characters must face an event that occurred fifteen years prior and directly relates to the current weekend. Who will still be alive at the end of the weekend?

Lucy Foley has written locked room/revenge stories before. While this wasn't anything new, it was still enjoyable to read.

I have never ready a Lucy Foley Book…..I actually have 2 on my bookshelf in my reading area…..after I read this book in 1 day I will definitely be cracking those other books open next! Very well written and I couldn’t put it down!

I loved The Midnight Feast by Lucy Foley! I was invested from the very first page! It was very easy to follow with the multiple povs and I loved that aspect so much. So many twists and turns. Lucy Foley did not disappointment! Loved every minute of it! Definitely a page turner!! Thank you so much for the opportunity to read this book!

This seemed different from other Lucy Foley books, but not. Parts of it made me not want to continue reading but once I did, I enjoyed the story and the twists

I was so excited to receive this ARC; I am a huge fan of Lucy Foley's work! It wasn't my favorite of all her books because it was a bit slower to get into, but I thoroughly enjoyed the countryside estate setting and the multiple timelines. If you are a fan of mysteries, this one will not disappoint. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC!

I've enjoyed Lucy Foleys other books and I love a myster/thriller that has multiple POVs. I liked this one as well the setting of a bungalow style hotel in the woods was great and while I enjoyed this for the most part I do wish the mystery was a bit more compelling to me. However I did like the spliced in journal entries from the past summer.

This book started out a little slow for me, but the characters were drawing me in, so I continued. The story is written from the current time and also from the past, allowing us to slowly see what was going on years ago and what was going on now. People were not all they appeared to be.

At heart is a village and the chasm between the rich, arrogant, privileged daughter and the lowly vacationer plucked out of her holiday stay in the caravan and "allowed" to be a part of her world, and how they came back together 15 years later. The town is not amused with the changes made and neither is the lowly, former friend.

I thought this story was great! It was creative and moving in parts. I keep thinking th0ugh, that something else needed to be told and was not. Will there be a follow up to these characters? That would be great.
The ending was a blast!

Thank you William Morrow and NetGalley for this early read.

I had high hopes for this book because this author usually knocks it out of the park. The book ended up being good, but parts of it were slow and strange. The last half was the best part of the book.

I'm such a huge Lucy Foley fan and there were moments where this book really had me going...until the big reveal. It's not that it was bad, it's just that it was more convoluted than it needed to be. And it unfortunately resembled the setup of both <i>The Guest List</i> and <i>The Hunting Party</i> too closely to really feel exciting. The monsters in the woods, however, were a stand-out take on folksy terror a la Tana French.

Out of the four Lucy Foley novels I've read, this was my least favorite, with <i>The Paris Apartment</i> being the best written and <i.The Hunting Party</i> being the most enjoyable. But I'll still come back for the next one!

Features of this story:
1) Teenage love lost
2) Have/have nots
3) Beachside resort
4) Gwenyth Paltrow/Goop mockery
5) Truly frightening monsters in the woods

Bonus points: Lucy Foley knows how to write a mean girl and you never feel bad when you see them get what they deserve in the wrap up ;)

3.75/5 stars.

Lucy Foley continues to be a master at multiple POV characters and The Midnight Feast did not disappoint.

This is a fast paced book set on the beautiful Dorset Coast at The Manor. Lots of twists and tuns and jumping back in time. If you like Lucy Foley you will love this book.

Beware of the Birds!

I would like to thank William Morrow and Net Galley for the opportunity to read this book as an ARC

Thank you to William Morrow and Netgalley for a copy of this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I’ve read the Paris Apartment, the Guest List and the Hunting Party by Lucy Foley. The Midnight Feast makes my fourth read of hers and I was pleasantly surprised. Like her other books, this is a multiple POV thriller that centers around a secret, harrowing incident from the past.

I thought the characters were more interesting and likeable than in her previous books, and I enjoyed the smaller cast. The story is full of twists and the short chapters made for a quick, easy read. Highly recommend!

Thank you William Morrow & Lucy Foley for the gifted eARC!

Admittedly it took me quite awhile to get into this one, but once I did I was hooked. The ending had so many twists I 100% did not see coming I could hardly keep up!

If, like me, you've loved Foley's previous novels because of the many different POV chapters, you will not be disappointed in the many characters present in this one. I commend her for writing in a way that I am never confused about who is who and I'm always easily able to distinguish between characters.

The Midnight Feast US pub date is June 18!

What a witchy, wild mystery! Thank you NetGalley for this advanced copy. I was absolutely entrenched in this story from page one.

Foley drew me in with the rich descriptions of Tome’s folklore and the eerie shadow of The Birds lurking in every corner. Absolutely devoured the links between the past storyline and the present Manor and its guests. There were so many interesting twists!!! Highly recommend this rich locked room mystery from Lucy Foley.

I feel like the audiobook will change my mind on this story. I think Ms. Foley, needs to go back to the intrigue of the Paris Apartment. It was so different than 'The Guest List' and 'The Hunting Party.' In my opinion this isolated books and all of the characters—who at times have similar character traits makes it so hard for me to stay focus. It’s the opening night of The Manor, and no expense, small or large, has been spared—that line hooked me, but it's every thing else that kept me comparing it to elements of her other books.

I will continue to read more from Lucy Foley because I feel she has it in her to move away from being a Agatha Christie duplicate. Thank you to HarperCollins and NetGalley for this early copy of the book. I look forward to trying out the audiobook for this story.

Classic Lucy Foley. You'll be guessing from the first page to the last. i loved the themes of justice and revenge, all set at a trendy "wellness" resort, that is nothing like it seems.

The Midnight Feast was a fast whodunnit mystery with surprises around every corner. While the characters in this book didn't grab me and pull me in; the plot was so fun and fast to read. I loved the descriptive setting and the whole Manor just felt real. Lucy Foley is a genius with her descriptions of places. It really makes you "feel" like you're there. I'd definitely recommend this one for anyone looking for a fast whodunnit!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC of this book!

I had previously read Lucy Foley and really enjoyed her suspense and character building. For some reason this one didn’t pull me in the same way. A lot of the characters felt forced and the ending left several things to be desired.

The motivations of many characters weren’t very complicated which made them feel more like caricatures than real people.

Overall I’m not sure if I’d pick up more from Foley (it’s like 50/50 right now). 3/5

Luice Foley is a mystery/suspense genius! The Midnight Feast took me for a loop and couldn't forsee the connections and ending at all!

This a a multiple narrative of 4 characters and all explain the upcoming event of the midnight feast and events that occurred 15 years. It is a quick and captivating read. Lucy Foley is so wonderful at weaving tales and you will not be disappointed.

This pains me to write, but I'm giving The Midnight Feast a generous 2 stars. I was so excited to receive an ARC. I loved The Hunting Party and The Guest List. I enjoyed The Paris Apartment as well. This book just wasn't it though. There were so many POV's and jumps in the timeline it was hard to follow. I also just didn't care what happened to any of the characters. The birds were interesting in the beginning but that story line really fell flat at the end. I also felt like the writing in this book was poor. The Hunting Party is one of my all time favorite books and I almost can't believe these were written by the same author. I heard The Midnight Feast has been picked up for a movie adaptation and I think this might actually do better as a movie. It would probably be easier to follow. I will still pick up Lucy Foley books in the future but I'm really bummed that I didn't enjoy this one.

Thank you NetGalley and William Morrow for this ARC.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to read the ARC of this book! Unfortunately it’s not my favorite. Timeline jumps were a little confusing, characters not incredibly lovable and very slow paced for my liking. The ending wasn’t as exciting as I hoped for, either. More mysterious than thrilling, and I like a lot of action and continuous plot that keeps you wanting more.

Thank you again for the read, and I am sure mystery lovers will be very happy with it!
