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!

The Midnight Feast is set in the English countryside at an estate turned spa like resort for the rich. This retreat is on family owned property of Francesca Meadows, and is located by the seaside and surrounded by forest. Locals tell of pagan folklore consisting of the Birds which haunt the woods surrounding the property. The book is told in multiple narrative POV‘s, past and present. I found myself hooked as the story unfolded and the twist had me going in multiple directions until the very end. I would highly recommend this book to readers.
Thank you for the advance readers digital Copy of this amazing murder, mystery, thriller by Lucy Foley.

This one gave me The Guest List vibes. It took me a little bit to get into it (just tell me what happened 15 years ago already!) but the last 25% or so made it worth it.

Kindly received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I would like to thank William Morrow and Net Galley for the opportunity to read this book as an ARC.I have read a number of Lucy Foley's books by now, and each tie she manages to reel me in an keep me guessing the whole way. The Midnight Feast is no exception. It is a twisty ride from start to finish. Francesca has inherited land and turned it into a new age type of resort/spa/playground for the rich and pampered. Francesca herself is rich and pampered, but she is hiding a secret. One of her guests at the opening of the resort knows it and is making contact with Francesca for the first time in 15 years to expose it. But who else knows that there is something sinister in the woods? The townspeople do not like the new resort, and groups of them have made this well known. But there is also a non human threat- the townspeople call them" The Birds". Are they responsible for the death of Francesca's Grandfather- who was found clutching a feather? The town has its secrets as well, and many will be exposed over this Midsummers Midnight Feast. It is crammed full of characters, secrets and back story. There are a number of POV's and the time line jumps around from 2 days before the solstice, to a day after, to the day itself, and to the summer of 2009.You need to keep track of all of this, as well as the characters. The ending seemed a bit pat for my liking and not all of the loose ends pulled together. However, it was a thrilling ride!

The Midnight Feast was White Lotus meets The House Across the Lake- a slow burn psychological thriller with unexpected twists in a gorgeous setting. When a wealthy woman inherits the family land, she goes toe to toe with not only the locals down the street, but also the mysterious rumored cult that seeks revenge on wrongdoers. I found the pace to be a little bit slow, but everything was well tied up at the end. This will be a great spooky fall read!

When a wellness influencer returns to her family manor to open an exclusive resort, the local residents are none too please. However, one supernatural group seems to be a work to dismantle the resort and ruin everything. Long hidden secrets will come to light in surprising ways and good will out.

The Midnight Feast by Lucy Foley had a slow start for me but half way through the book things quickly speed up. A lot of switching from present to past timelines. I had to really concentrate when a new chapter started so I could figure out where and who was talking.

Over all a good story but not a favorite of mine from this author.

This book was a little slow paced for me as well as the end wasn't as much of a WOW factor. Maybe this is coming from someone who has read many thrillers, but the ending was not shocking or heart racing for me. There was a lot of jumping around between characters and I also couldn't really connect with any of them. The majority of the book was just giving me a day to day what was going on. I wish it delved more into the lore of the town and the bird group they had. What did that group do and why was there a sacrifice? Why did they all go after Francesca? Why did they all dislike her when only two people knew the truth about her?
I appreciate the ARc and will purchase a copy of the book for our library

3.5 - This follows the classic Lucy Foley formula. Because I’m familiar with her books, I had an idea of where things were going but I also wouldn’t call it a predictable book. I found this one to be more mystery than thriller. I looove the retreat setting. I really enjoyed the diary entries and the local folklore. However, it took me a bit to get into this one. I didn’t really connect with any of the characters, so I felt a little detached from the story. There were a lot of POVs with timeline jumping, which is not my favorite way to navigate a story. I would have preferred for the chaos at the end to come as a surprise, rather than finding out about it at the beginning and then jumping around in the timeline. I did enjoy the ‘full circle’ moments in the book. Overall, solid mystery with a great setting.

Thank you William Morrow and NetGalley for the ARC.

Thanks to NetGalley for granting me an early release of The Midnight Feast written by Lucy Foley. I like Lucy's other books and was excited to read this. The story was a little hard for me to get into. The story unfolds through many different POV. While I enjoyed many parts of it I also struggled with scenes that didn’t seem to connect, things that went unexplained and there were too many changes in POV. I think there was a good foundation to the story, it was just a very different reading experience from an author I have read from before.

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC Copy of The Midnight Feast.

This one was a little slower to get into, but once I got into it more I was fully invested into it as the twists kept coming. I do think this is one of Lucy Foley's best books yet and I love the multiple point of views this book provides. This was a fast paced book with short chapters that kept you wanting to read "just one more".

This thriller was filled with unexpected twists and turns throughout. After learning about the different characters and their thoughts/motivations we learn how each character is connected and the secrets they share.
