I love this authors work, and this book was amazing, really enjoyable, I am so appreciative of the advanced copy,

After not enjoying the Paris Apartment as much as the previous books I’m glad we’re back in the fast paced, mysterious environment more similar to The Guest List and the Haunting Party. Although the beginning was a little slow, I soon started to put the pieces together and I was on the edge of my seat for the rest of the novel. I also really loved the setting. It was almost a character in itself. A great and thrilling beach read.

Lucy Foley does it again. This time it's not just one character who surprised me, but a whole bunch of characters who are not what they first seem. You think you've got the whole book worked out and "bam" she throws in another revelation.
Some readers might not be as keen on the many different character perspectives and very short chapters but I felt this really helped with the pacing. Thoroughly enjoyable.

What an author! Her thrillers are crystal clear and engaging and keep be hooked right to the end. I haven’t read one I don’t love!

I am already a dedicated Lucy Foley fan so I am so happy to have received *The Midnight Feast* from Netgalley. I have enjoyed all of Foley’s books thus far, but her previous release *The Paris Apartment* was not my fave. Foley has bounced back spectacularly in *The Midnight Feast*. As usual, her characters are complex and compelling, especially the unlikeable ones.

*The* *Midnight Feast* explores class in a rural small town setting. The seeds of the story are in a summer vacation 15 years previous and are threatening to derail the careful rebrand of The Manor. The setting and the characters felt so true to life I tensed in apprehension of being pitched an MLM. I could practically smell the oregano oil.

Foley has crafted the environment cleverly so you can see the “twists” if you pay attention. This book has everything: creepy secluded setting, ominous cliffs, a secret society, and an entitled influencer. The “villain” is *obvious* but their trajectory is compelling even without the “surprise” – we all know someone like this, though hopefully with less murder. The rest of the cast of characters are also deeply flawed and engage in plenty of shady behavior to keep you guessing. Nothing is too obvious so the story does not feel cartoonish.

If I had had the time to finish this book in one or two sittings (and if my Kindle weren’t slowly dying of old age), I would have.

I do enjoy a Lucy Foley mystery & The Midnight Feast is no different. It was full of twists & turns with an eclectic mix of characters. Highly recommended!

Lucy Foley has given us another great “whodunnit’. Set in an idyllic location with lots of interesting characters. This book will keep you guessing to the very end. Well written and hard to put down once started.

The beginning and middle of the book confused me with so many characters and flipping between the time periods and characters. I knew there was something going on and it would lead to somewhere but it did take a long time. Once the action started and it was wrapping up the story is where I got interested in the story.

This book definitely lives up to its reputation! My favourite thriller of 2024 and I couldn’t put it down!

I love nothing more than a truly satisfying thriller, and I always know that Lucy Foley will pull that off for me. Highlights of The Midnight Feast for me were the setting and folklore inclusion, and her characters always stand out as well rounded and believable. Really enjoyed Foley's newest book and am as keen as ever for her next.

I hate to say it but there was basically nothing I enjoyed about this book. I have come to terms with the fact that me and this author just do not see eye to eye.

Midsummer on the Dorset coast for a beautiful and exclusive hotel opening. All arrangements have been made and the launch should be a beautiful and exclusive affair but amongst the guests there are both friends and enemies; those who would like to see the truth be revealed and this may bring everything crashing to the ground.

This was an enjoyable and gripping thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat. Told from several points of view I loved this and it kept me completely hooked.

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for a copy of the novel in exchange for an honest review.

The latest Lucy Foley book was much anticipated, but this one fell flat for me. It is the opening weekend of ‘The Manor’, a wellness resort, and the celebrations are in full swing. Unbeknown to the guests, the land harbours dark secrets. The next morning, the body of a female is discovered, then there is a fire. The truth of the murder and fate of the retreat starts to unravel.
There are too many characters to keep track of and confusing narrative made it hard to keep pace. Sadly, not as enjoyable as anticipated

Super gripping, twisty, dark, and engaging - I love Lucy Foley's books and this one was no exception!

Dark and Twisty but expertly crafted. i found the different timelines a little confusing but this didnt detract from the story line
Easy to read

I have previously enjoyed Lucy Foley's books so was excited to read this one about a secluded hotel for the elite. It's not just your typical thriller style book, there's a bit of a spooky supernatural element to it which I think really sets it apart from the many many thrillers out just now.

The dark suspense and creepy feel of this novel starts from the get go and slowly builds as the novel progresses. The plot jumps between the points of view of different characters and snippets from the past, which at first can seem a little confusing, but then succeeds in drawing you in to the mystery of what is actually going on. I was hooked after the first few chapters and couldn’t put this book down, wanting to know what happened next. I can honestly say I didn’t see the ending coming, it definitely kept me guessing right until the end. Recommended :).

Read this one for the beginning of spooky season this year and it was absolute PERFECTION ! Seriously such a great, fast paced and entertaining mystery novel.
The characters are all insane, the setting is nuts and it was very very enjoyable. It really sucked me in and I couldn't wait to read more every day.

I ended up doing the audiobook and it was such a great production. Definitely recommend it!

Thank you NetGalley, HarperCollins UK and the author for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was one of the most suspenseful thrillers I’ve ever read. Every twist made me question everything I thought I knew. The ending was absolutely mind-blowing and sheer perfection.

A decent, if in parts slightly far fetched read.
Have read others by Lucy Foley and wouldn't rate this as her best publication.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the ARC in return for an honest unbiased review
