The Hitchcock Hotel




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.

It's rare for something genuinely fresh to come along in this genre, but this book has it all - a killer premise, twisty plotting, crisp writing and compelling characters. Dazzling, dark and utterly delicious

JP Delaney

Wrobel masterfully weaves together multiple POVs to spin a near-suffocating web of suspense. The tension—and thrills—intensify as each sordid secret, bitter grudge, and simmering resentment surfaces, culminating in the reveal of one shocking hidden agenda. With themes of loyalty, obsession, guilt, and voyeurism, The Hitchcock Hotel kept me locked in from the first page to the last.

K.T. NGUYEN

A master stylist, Stephanie Wrobel strikes again with well-drawn characters, intricate plotting, satisfying surprises, and first-class entertainment. I don't want to visit The Hitchcock Hotel, but its story had me from the moment the guests arrived. Endlessly clever, ridiculously entertaining, and so damn FUN.

Masterful in its layering of secrets and suspense, THE HITCHCOCK HOTEL is not only a clever tribute to the acclaimed movie maestro, but also a locked room nail biter in itself. I loved it!

ROZ NAY

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

USA TODAY bestselling author, Stephanie Wrobel, is back with another brilliantly unsettling, chilling thriller. Utterly gripping and Hitchcockian in the most literal sense, this staggering novel unravels the decades-old mystery surrounding six former college friends. Wrobel creates an intricately terrifying plot with a cast of suspicious characters, all who have something to hide and one who will die. Sinister, scintillating, and compulsively creepy, The Hitchcock Hotel is an irresistible, genius read that will astound you
