Synopsis

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

"A clever, sinister fun-house ride."–People

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.

"Jaw-dropping."–Riley Sager

"Hugely readable and tremendous fun."–Alex Michaelides

I LOVED the prologue, told from the POV of a crow. I thought that was so unique and fun, and I loved all the nods to Hitchcock in t......more

The Hitchcock Hotel is open and ready for business!! Alfred Smettle is a HUGE Alfred Hitchcock fan! So much so that he is now the owner of a Victorian Hotel he calls The Hitchcock Hotel. Check in and you can enjoy Hitchcock's movies, film memorabilia, movie props and of course crows! It was a work of......more

Goodreads review by Justin on March 11, 2025

2.5 stars Brilliant concept with underwhelming execution, as someone who has always been deeply interested in Alfred Hitchcock's filmography, the title (and the premise) of The Hitchcock Hotel immediately has my attention. Unfortunately, I find its incorporation of the cinematic elements, while cheek......more

Goodreads review by Rachel on November 25, 2024

This was another one of those books that when I first started reading this, I thought for sure it was going to be a full five star read for me. It had our awkward owner of the Hitchcock Hotel, Alfred. Then we bring in Alfred’s former friends from college who all seemed to be less than perfect themse......more
