from Simon Mayo's Books of the Year

Bestselling author Lucy Foley joins Simon and Matt for a chat about her latest novel, 'The Midnight Feast' (which has just come out in paperback) She talks about the place and setting that inspired the story, folk-horror, how much to reveal early on in a story and why more and more entertainment seems to be laughing at the super rich. Matt shares his opinions about the term 'beach read' and Simon tries to avoid any plot spoilers. The Midnight Feast by Lucy Foley Midsummer, the Dorset coast In the shadows of an ancient wood, guests gather for the opening weekend of The Manor: a beautiful new countryside retreat. But under the burning midsummer sun, darkness stirs. Old friends and enemies circulate among the guests. And the candles have barely been lit for a solstice supper when the body is found. 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
