The Hitchock Hotel by Stephanie Wrobel.
Thank you to Simon and Schuster Canada for sending me the physical ARC in exchange for my honest review.
Book Synopsis
From the USA TODAY and nationally bestselling author of Darling Rose Gold comes a dark, suspenseful novel about a hotelier in New England planning a reunion with his oldest friends, the founding members of a campus film club devoted to Alfred Hitchcock.
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.
My Review
The second half of this book was definitely more interesting to me than the first, and the first bit was quite a bit slow. The Hitchock Hotel is strong on setting and creating a locked-room mystery and this is the part of the writing I enjoyed.
I am not a fan of Hitchcock movies and I think that those readers who are familiar and/or are fans will possibly enjoy this book a bit more than those readers who are not.
My Rating: 3/5
⭐️⭐️⭐️
