The Midnight Feast by Lucy Foley
3.0
The Midnight Feast takes place during the opening weekend of a luxury hotel, The Manor, in a small coastal town. As Francesca Meadows prepares to open her carefully curated establishment, tensions rise between the visitors and the locals, and Bella, a ghost of her past, comes to finally confront her on an incident from 15 years prior. The novel switches from multiple perspectives including Francesca, her husband, Bella, a dishwasher, a detective, and an old journal.
This was a slow build but once I got a third of the way in, I was hooked. The amount of perspectives was confusing and chaotic at times, but the more I read, the more I caught on. A few plot points could have used more clarification and fleshing out, specifically with Francesca's brothers. The ending was outlandish and almost wrapped up too neatly, but overall it was an interesting story that held my attention.
The Midnight Feast comes out on June 6, 2024. Thank you to NetGalley for an Advanced Reader Copy in exchange for my honest review.
