"Sharp, stylish and stunning...Foley's best yet." -- Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of All the Colors of the Dark

"It is an absolute bonkers delight (and I haven't even mentioned the local bird cult yet ...)." -- NPR, Best Books of the Year

Secrets. Lies. Murder. Let the festivities begin...

It's the opening night of The Manor, the newest and hottest luxury resort, and no expense, small or large, has been spared. The infinity pool sparkles; the "Manor Mule" cocktail (grapefruit, ginger, vodka, and a dash of CBD oil) is being poured with a heavy hand. Everyone is wearing linen.

But under the burning midsummer sun, darkness stirs. Old friends and enemies circulate among the guests. Just outside the Manor's immaculately kept grounds, an ancient forest bristles with secrets. And it's not too long before the local police are called. Turns out the past has crashed the party, with deadly results.

THE GIRLBOSS - THE HUSBAND - THE KITCHEN HELP - THE MYSTERY GUEST

Everyone's got a secret. Everyone's got an agenda. But not everyone will survive...The Midnight Feast

"Foley's usual techniques of unraveling the central mystery through multiple timelines and narrators are paralleled by the spiraling events of the weekend, which careen from juice shots and yoga on the lawn to a chaotic climax at a hallucinogen-fueled bacchanal where hidden identities and multiple murders are brought to light. It is an absolute bonkers delight" -- NPR

Praise for this book

"A transcontinental whodunnit with chic panache, this page-turner will keep you up into the wee hours of the night." -- Good Morning America on The Paris Apartment

"Told in rotating points of view, this Tilt-A-Whirl of a novel brims with jangly tension--an undeniably engrossing guessing game." -- Vogue on The Paris Apartment

"Another page-turning thriller in which the story and its characters are as unique and beguiling as the city itself. ... [Foley] keeps readers on their toes with a fast-paced story in which she does a stellar job of juggling the past and the present with multiple narratives without getting bogged down. You can feel the urgency in her prose. ... A thrilling read." -- USA Today on The Paris Apartment

"With characters suspicious and unlikable in their own way and a fun twist, you're in for a dark and moody escape." -- NPR.org on The Paris Apartment

"Extremely evocative, with a richly-drawn atmosphere you can cut with a knife. Short of a trip to Paris, the next best thing is surely to settle down with a bottle of French wine and devour The Paris Apartment...Stylish, suspenseful, claustrophobic and menacing." -- Alex Michealides, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Silent Patient
