A distinctive and chilling new thriller from the author of Richard & Judy pick and Sunday Times bestseller THE RECOVERY OF ROSE GOLD

Why did he invite them? Why did they come? A hotel dedicated to the Master of Suspense - round-the-clock film screenings, movie memorabilia in every room, and an aviary of fifty crows. Owner Alfred Smettle invites his five closest friends from college to stay. He hasn't spoken to any of them in sixteen years. Alfred calls it a reunion. Really, it's a last chance. But Alfred is not the only one with an agenda. And it's only a matter of time before things get worse. After all, no Hitchcock set is complete without a dead body.

Stephanie Wrobel is the author of This Might Hurt and The Recovery of Rose Gold, a Sunday Times and international bestseller that sold in twenty-one countries. Her third book, The Hitchcock Hotel, pays tribute to legendary film director Alfred Hitchcock, whose work Wrobel first encountered during a film studies class at university. She's been a devotee ever since. This new novel examines many of the themes that obsessed the Master of Suspense- voyeurism, vengeance, paranoia, and guilt. Wrobel lives in New York City.

Reviews for The Hitchcock Hotel

Stephanie Wrobel wittily recreates the mood of creeping suspense and comic horror that makes Hitchcock movies so endlessly entertaining * The Times * Hugely readable and tremendous fun. As twisty as a Hitchcock film, full of mystery and suspense, this is a hotel I recommend checking into - even if there’s no guarantee you’ll make it out alive… -- ALEX MICHAELIDES A scream from start to finish – I can’t wait to book my room! -- JANICE HALLETT A fresh, unpredictable take. A neat tribute to the great film maker * Mail on Sunday * A compelling story of murder in a Hitchcock-themed hotel. This is a richly atmospheric thriller with a premise to die for. Addictive and entertaining in equal measure -- ALEX PAVESI Fans of Knives Out, Agatha Christie, and (of course) Alfred Hitchcock, rejoice! The Hitchcock Hotel is cool, classy – but such fun; reverent – yet so original. And – above all – almost biologically impossible to put down once picked up. Hitchcock would’ve loved it. I sure as hell did -- A.J. FINN A spectacularly suspenseful thriller perfect for all crime fans and Hitchcock lovers - THE HITCHCOCK HOTEL is the most outrageously enjoyable mystery of the year -- MATTHEW BLAKE 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 Utterly gripping and Hitchcockian in the most literal sense, this staggering novel unravels the decades-old mystery surrounding six former college friends. Sinister, scintillating, and compulsively creepy, The Hitchcock Hotel is an irresistible, genius read that will astound you -- SAMANTHA M. BAILEY
