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.
In The Hitchcock Hotel, Alfred wants his themed hotel to become a success. He invites his old college gang to come for a weekend in hopes to create buzz that would make his hotel more appealing. None of them really want to be there. All of them have secrets.
The Hitchcock Hotel was an really enjoyable mystery. I love when I read a book that I am sure is going in one direction, but then pivots. The beginning was a little slow, but as I was glad I stuck with it I did not guess what was really going on in this book. I won't lie, all of the characters were unlikable. They became increasingly unlikable as scenes from the past were revealed. But that actually worked in the book's favor. It made the reveal in the end so satisfying. I definitely recommend this one.
