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

"An irresistible whodunit with an irresistible Blair Witch-meets-Fyre Festival backdrop." -- People

"Sharp, stylish and stunning...Foley's best yet." -- Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of We Begin at the End

"Agatha Christie for the Instagram age." -- Guardian

The deliciously twisty new locked room murder mystery from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Guest List and The Paris Apartment

It's the opening night of The Manor, and no expense, small or large, has been spared. The infinity pool sparkles; crystal pouches for guests' healing have been placed in the Seaside Cottages and Woodland Hutches; 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 the Sunday morning of opening weekend, the local police are called. Something's not right with the guests. There's been a fire. A body's been discovered.

THE FOUNDER * THE HUSBAND * THE MYSTERY GUEST * THE KITCHEN HELP

It all began with a secret, fifteen years ago. Now the past has crashed the party. And it'll end in murder at...The Midnight Feast.

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
