NEW BOOK: The Midnight Feast by Lucy Foley. It’s the opening night of The Manor, and no expense, small or large, has been spared. The infinity pool sparkles; there are crystal pouches for guests’ healing; the “Manor Mule” cocktail is being poured with a heavy hand. Everyone is wearing linen. And yet, just outside The Manor’s immaculately kept grounds, an ancient forest bristles with secrets. The local community resents what they see as The Manor’s intrusion into the local woods and attempts to privatize the beach. Small skirmishes have erupted on the edges of the property between locals and the staff, and the whispers keep coming, about an old piece of pagan folklore—the Night Birds, an avenging force that can be called upon to make right wrongs that elude the law. Though surely everything at The Manor has been done aboveboard. On opening weekend, the local police are called. There’s been a fire. A body’s been discovered. Something’s not right with the guests. What happened on the grounds of the Manor the past thirty-six hours? And who—or what—is the cause? Everyone has an agenda. Everyone has a past. But not everyone will survive… The Midnight Feast.
