The midnight feast [text (large print)] / by Foley, Lucy(Novelist),author.;
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. 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.

As they attempt to make their way from the Midwest all the way to the Poppy Fields -- where they hope to find Ellis, its brilliant, enigmatic founder -- each of their past secrets and mysterious motivations threaten to derail their voyage"--

Eventually we learn the details of what Thom and Wendy did in their early twenties, a secret that has kept them bound together through the length of their marriage. But its power over them is fraying, and each of them begins to wonder if they would be better off making sure their spouse carries their secrets to the grave."--
