The Midnight Feast by Lucy Foley is a mystery thriller set at a luxurious new age hotel. The story unfolds over a hot midsummer weekend  culminating on Summer Solstice.  As the secrets and tensions simmer along with the summer heat, a dark past comes back to haunt the new owner, and by Sunday morning, there's a fire, a dead body, and a police investigation. The novel explores the hidden motives and past connections of some of the guests as the mystery of the murder unfolds.  Foley truly has an expert and effortless ability to take the reader to the unique space where her whodunnits unfold. The novel is almost impossible to put down; with Foley weaving us through bombshells, pace changes and cliffhangers.  A must read.
