Description
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.

“With THE HITCHCOCK HOTEL, Stephanie Wrobel cements her status as one of the most original and exciting writers of suspense working today. Reuniting at a new "themed" hotel dedicated to the movies of director Alfred Hitchcock, six college friends encounter the motifs, tricks and traps of his most famous plots as one by one their long-held secrets, rivalries and romances threaten to destroy their post-grad lives. 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.
