Ospățul de la miezul nopții

A new luxury resort in Dorset holds a grand opening party. Guests drink by an infinity pool near woods that hide secrets. Their drink blends grapefruit, ginger, vodka and CBD oil. Old friends mix with foes. Events from the past bring deadly harm. Soon, the police arrive.

The tale follows the founder, her husband and a kitchen helper. A guest whose identity is unknown plays a key role too. Each hides something and has a plan of their own. Not all will live through the night.

Lucy Foley's murder thriller sets lies and hidden threats amid wealth. It gives mystery fans twists in the plot. Hints of mysticism run through the guests' quest for pleasure.
