The Midnight Feast
Guests arrive at a luxurious wellness resort on the Dorset coast for an opening celebration built around carefully manufactured rustic exclusivity. The surrounding woods and local community hold older memories of the land, while the resort's owners have enemies who recognize what their success erased. A fire and a body turn the midsummer feast into the culmination of revenge prepared across multiple timelines. Dark and propulsive, this mystery suits readers who enjoy folkloric atmosphere, rich outsiders, buried local history, and glamorous retreats whose polished surfaces conceal long-standing harm.
