Publisher's summary

A Hitchcock fanatic with an agenda invites old friends for a weekend stay at his secluded themed hotel in this fiendishly clever, suspenseful new novel from the international bestselling author of Darling Rose Gold.

Alfred Smettle is not your average Hitchcock fan. He is the founder, owner, and manager of The Hitchcock Hotel, a sprawling Victorian house in the White Mountains dedicated to the Master of Suspense. There, Alfred offers his guests round-the-clock film screenings, movie props and memorabilia in every room, plus an aviary with fifty crows.

To celebrate the hotel’s first anniversary, he invites his former best friends from his college Film Club for a reunion. He hasn’t spoken to any of them in sixteen years, not after what happened.

But who better than them to appreciate Alfred’s creation? And to help him finish it.

After all, no Hitchcock set is complete without a body.

Critic reviews

“With The Hitchcock Hotel, Stephanie Wrobel cements her status as one of the most original and exciting writers of suspense working today . . . In this both fun and frightening tribute to Hollywood's master of suspense, Wrobel conveys the psychology of very flawed characters grappling with sudden vulnerability and suppressed guilt, and ratchets up the intrigue step by meticulous step until the reader is racing through the pages to uncover the underlying menace. Releasing just in time for the 150th celebration of Hitchock's birth, The Hitchcock Hotel is a pitch-perfect rendering of what makes his movies special and a singular story of thrills in its own right.”
— NATALIE JENNER, USA Today bestselling author of The Jane Austen Society

“A slow burn of suspense, secrets, and lies that—in true Hitchcockian fashion—explodes into a series of twists, each more jaw-dropping than the last.”
— RILEY SAGER, New York Times bestselling author of The Only One Left

“Masterful in its layering of secrets and suspense, The Hitchcock Hotel is not only a clever tribute to the acclaimed movie maestro, but also a locked room nail-biter in itself. I loved it!”
— ROZ NAY, bestselling author of Our Little Secret
